Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1325 Scott Adams： Biden's Press Conference Scorecard, I Announce Identifying as Black, The Cargo Ship Genitalia, More

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. Come on in. Come on in. Yeah, it's time. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:10.120 And aren't you glad it is? I know. I know. It's the best time of the day.

00:00:15.180 And let's make it special. Because you know what's special about today?

00:00:20.920 Well, there's a gigantic penis-shaped ship that is screwing the planet Earth at this moment. 0.99

00:00:34.020 Yeah, you're not going to get your toilet paper. 0.99

00:00:36.880 But we can make that all better with a simultaneous sip.

00:00:39.100 And all you need is a copper mug or glass, a tank of chalice, a stein, a canteen jug of glass, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:44.160 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:46.540 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes, what?

00:00:54.320 Yeah, everything. Everything better.

00:00:56.280 It's called the simultaneous sip. And you'll hear it around the world.

00:01:00.180 It happens now. Go.

00:01:06.300 I can feel that cargo ship starting to be dislodged.

00:01:13.840 One sip. That's all it took. Amazing.

00:01:16.540 Well, let's talk about all the news.

00:01:22.860 So first of all, let's talk about that giant cargo ship because it's the only fun thing that happened this week.

00:01:28.820 Now that you don't have Trump in the news so much, 0.99

00:01:32.540 you have to wait for a cargo ship to draw a giant penis in the ocean. 0.99

00:01:37.060 But we got it. We got that. 0.99

00:01:39.380 If you haven't watched the story,

00:01:40.600 apparently that cargo ship that is lodged in the Suez Canal,

00:01:45.480 prior to that,

00:01:47.220 the GPS tracking showed a path that looked suspiciously, 0.99

00:01:52.020 exactly like somebody drawing a cock and balls. 0.99

00:01:56.060 Now, some say it's a coincidence. 1.00

00:01:57.760 I say that if you get stuck in the Suez Canal right after you coincidentally drew a giant cock and balls, 0.98

00:02:08.100 the simulation is trying to tell us something. 0.99

00:02:10.100 I think it's telling us we're screwed. 0.93

00:02:14.740 Because, in a way, and not in a good way,

00:02:18.540 because I think the Suez Canal is sort of the planet's colon, if you know what I mean.

00:02:25.860 Sort of a tight passage.

00:02:28.540 See what I'm saying?

00:02:29.220 And this giant object is trying to penetrate that, but unsuccessfully so far.

00:02:39.940 So we'll see if that gets unloaded before all your toilet paper disappears.

00:02:44.880 Now here's a real simulation moment.

00:02:50.540 I'm not making this up.

00:02:53.100 I had planned this week to say,

00:02:56.660 can you believe that a year ago,

00:02:59.680 you know, a little less than a year ago,

00:03:01.240 we were worried about running out of toilet paper.

00:03:05.360 And I thought,

00:03:06.420 well, that's crazy.

00:03:08.100 You know, we'll figure it out.

00:03:09.300 We're not going to run out of toilet paper.

00:03:12.300 Well, here we are.

00:03:14.740 So,

00:03:15.300 Greta Thunberg,

00:03:18.280 you all know her,

00:03:20.340 how dare you?

00:03:22.640 She tweeted

00:03:23.640 an article and said,

00:03:25.280 China continues to build coal-fired plants

00:03:28.020 at a rate that outpaces the rest of the world combined.

00:03:32.360 Combined?

00:03:33.460 They're building more coal-powered plants

00:03:35.740 than all the rest of the world.

00:03:38.320 Combined.

00:03:41.580 More than three times what was brought in line everywhere else.

00:03:44.820 China looks to be wrecking the whole planet 1.00

00:03:49.200 with their coal plants.

00:03:55.480 But there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it.

00:03:58.600 So I guess we're just going to watch that happen.

00:04:05.100 But I feel as though

00:04:06.660 they've got a real problem there, right?

00:04:08.940 It seems like the air pollution

00:04:10.620 is going to make them do something differently

00:04:13.420 pretty quickly.

00:04:14.980 Because what would be the point

00:04:16.620 of building a city you couldn't live in

00:04:18.240 because of the air?

00:04:20.040 But that's what they got.

00:04:22.460 More about China later.

00:04:25.000 So Ted Lieu,

00:04:26.640 he tweeted this

00:04:28.900 about the Biden press conference.

00:04:30.880 He said,

00:04:31.160 President Biden did a terrific job.

00:04:34.840 Totally objective.

00:04:36.120 He did a terrific job

00:04:37.560 at the press conference.

00:04:38.500 He explained the actions

00:04:40.000 that his administration took

00:04:41.080 to help the American people.

00:04:42.660 And he set bold new goals

00:04:44.320 to move our nation forward.

00:04:46.820 Well, that's pretty good.

00:04:48.120 Sounds pretty good.

00:04:49.040 But then he added to his tweet,

00:04:51.060 also,

00:04:51.540 he didn't tell people

00:04:52.380 to inject bleach

00:04:53.380 to get rid of the coronavirus.

00:04:56.700 Okay, that's not so good.

00:04:59.860 And I asked myself,

00:05:01.680 does Ted Lieu actually believe

00:05:03.760 the bleach drinking hoax

00:05:06.620 still?

00:05:08.820 Still?

00:05:09.920 I mean,

00:05:10.400 I kind of understand

00:05:11.700 how you could get Rupard

00:05:14.240 by it temporarily.

00:05:17.060 You all know

00:05:17.620 what being Rupard means?

00:05:19.580 It's named after Aaron Rupard at Vox.

00:05:21.900 If you get Rupard,

00:05:23.120 it means you take a video

00:05:24.540 out of context

00:05:25.360 to make it look different

00:05:26.700 than what really was there.

00:05:28.900 So the drinking bleach hoax

00:05:30.720 was caused by a Rupard. 0.85

00:05:32.240 They just took the middle

00:05:33.540 of what Trump said

00:05:34.560 and they lopped off

00:05:35.780 where he said

00:05:36.920 he was talking about light

00:05:38.040 and then they lopped off

00:05:39.620 the end where he clarified

00:05:40.900 he wasn't talking

00:05:41.660 about injections,

00:05:42.620 he was talking about,

00:05:43.520 you know, light.

00:05:45.880 So you just get rid of that

00:05:47.180 and then people like Ted Lieu

00:05:48.620 still believe

00:05:49.340 that there was something

00:05:51.060 about drinking bleach in there.

00:05:53.460 And even bleach

00:05:54.060 wasn't even mentioned

00:05:54.700 in that context.

00:05:56.300 So here's what

00:05:57.620 we can do about this.

00:06:00.420 Here's how you handle

00:06:02.480 the bleach drinking hoax.

00:06:04.420 Are you ready?

00:06:05.400 Number one,

00:06:06.760 the existence of the verb

00:06:09.940 to Rupar

00:06:10.880 turns it from a concept

00:06:14.160 that's hard to explain.

00:06:15.900 Well, you know,

00:06:16.580 they can make it look different

00:06:17.700 if you remove this editing

00:06:20.180 and blah, blah, blah.

00:06:21.260 But if you put a word on it,

00:06:23.500 just the way our brains

00:06:24.700 are organized,

00:06:25.580 as soon as it has its word

00:06:27.020 to Rupar,

00:06:29.140 R-U-P-A-R, 1.00

00:06:31.040 Rupar,

00:06:32.200 once you have a word for it,

00:06:35.360 people's brains interpret it

00:06:37.140 as more of a thing

00:06:39.060 because it's got a word.

00:06:41.820 Now, this is a persuasion trick

00:06:44.780 that I like to use a lot.

00:06:46.500 Anything that doesn't have a word,

00:06:48.480 you can't persuade.

00:06:49.980 It's just got to be boiled down

00:06:51.440 to a word

00:06:52.180 because words have their own

00:06:53.600 persuasive power.

00:06:54.520 They carry it with them.

00:06:56.000 So until it's a word,

00:06:57.460 yeah, like bork, exactly.

00:06:59.440 Somebody's using to bork or,

00:07:02.560 yeah.

00:07:04.080 So having the word helps.

00:07:06.440 Now when people say,

00:07:07.880 hey, he said drink bleach,

00:07:10.200 you say to them,

00:07:11.120 oh, dude, you got Rupard.

00:07:13.660 Dude, you got Rupard.

00:07:16.040 You got Rupard and bad.

00:07:18.300 Do you see how much more

00:07:19.200 persuasive that is?

00:07:20.600 Because if you say,

00:07:21.520 your facts are not

00:07:23.780 technically correct,

00:07:25.540 has that ever changed

00:07:27.180 anybody's mind?

00:07:29.140 No.

00:07:30.000 No, because the facts,

00:07:31.560 they'll just say the facts are wrong.

00:07:33.640 You'll say,

00:07:35.020 look,

00:07:35.720 I'm making a claim

00:07:36.720 about what he said.

00:07:38.320 Here's the video.

00:07:39.900 Here's the transcript.

00:07:41.520 I'm not making this up.

00:07:43.460 It says right here,

00:07:44.420 he's talking about light

00:07:45.440 in his own words.

00:07:46.760 You can see it on video.

00:07:47.700 Would that change anybody's mind

00:07:51.020 about what they saw?

00:07:53.760 You'd think so, right?

00:07:55.680 You'd think that if somebody

00:07:56.840 thought something was X

00:07:58.700 and you showed it

00:08:00.040 right to their face,

00:08:01.280 you let them hear it

00:08:02.540 and see it.

00:08:03.820 That they would then think,

00:08:05.100 oh, okay, not X.

00:08:07.720 I guess I got Rupard.

00:08:09.160 I didn't know it.

00:08:10.700 That will never happen

00:08:12.120 as long as you're alive.

00:08:14.460 And once somebody gets committed

00:08:15.780 to the argument,

00:08:17.520 cognitive dissonance

00:08:18.900 will be their path.

00:08:20.600 And I was watching,

00:08:21.400 you know,

00:08:22.480 some well-informed Twitter user

00:08:24.480 who may or may not be watching

00:08:26.060 this at the moment,

00:08:27.460 dismantle somebody

00:08:28.540 in the Twitter feed

00:08:30.500 who believed the hoax

00:08:32.120 and he was just quoting

00:08:33.640 the actual transcript

00:08:34.700 to just dismantle it.

00:08:36.440 Now, did the person then say,

00:08:38.480 oh, well,

00:08:39.140 thank you for clarifying.

00:08:40.920 Nope.

00:08:41.920 Nope.

00:08:43.060 Did not.

00:08:43.560 You just went into

00:08:46.340 a cognitive dissonance spiral

00:08:48.040 and just became

00:08:49.380 temporarily insane.

00:08:51.040 And that's what you'd expect.

00:08:52.520 That's exactly what

00:08:53.560 cognitive dissonance is.

00:08:55.560 It's like a weird

00:08:56.520 insanity hallucination

00:08:58.040 that pops up

00:08:58.900 when your self-image

00:09:01.020 doesn't match events.

00:09:03.720 So what this person

00:09:04.760 who was learning

00:09:06.080 that they had been Rupard,

00:09:09.280 which doesn't feel good, right?

00:09:10.840 If you've been bamboozled

00:09:13.620 or Rupard,

00:09:14.940 you think,

00:09:15.540 that's a little embarrassing

00:09:16.720 on me

00:09:17.420 because I was

00:09:19.520 a little gullible.

00:09:20.480 I got Rupard

00:09:21.260 a little too easily.

00:09:24.240 So go for

00:09:26.340 the embarrassment

00:09:27.220 of somebody being Rupard,

00:09:29.060 not the facts.

00:09:30.280 The facts won't work.

00:09:31.880 But here is my second suggestion

00:09:33.780 for getting rid of this.

00:09:34.820 If I could

00:09:36.920 be a reporter

00:09:38.440 to ask Ted Lieu

00:09:39.540 some questions,

00:09:40.420 I would ask him this.

00:09:41.980 Number one,

00:09:42.820 do you believe

00:09:43.320 that President Trump

00:09:44.200 recommended drinking bleach

00:09:45.860 to get rid of the coronavirus?

00:09:48.140 Presumably,

00:09:48.780 he would say yes.

00:09:49.980 Yes,

00:09:50.300 I do believe that.

00:09:52.320 Now,

00:09:53.280 rather than telling him

00:09:54.560 he got it wrong,

00:09:56.160 I would ask

00:09:56.740 the following question.

00:09:58.340 All right,

00:09:58.700 good.

00:09:58.960 So you believe

00:09:59.560 the drinking bleach story.

00:10:02.100 I'd like to get your position

00:10:03.460 on a few more things.

00:10:05.100 What is your position

00:10:06.000 on Bigfoot?

00:10:09.100 Now,

00:10:09.640 he would say,

00:10:10.380 oh,

00:10:10.560 you're not being serious now.

00:10:11.880 And I would look at him

00:10:12.620 and say,

00:10:12.960 what do you mean?

00:10:16.240 We're talking about

00:10:17.220 the drinking bleach thing.

00:10:18.800 This is just,

00:10:19.800 I'm trying to get some context.

00:10:21.840 I'm trying to understand

00:10:23.340 how many things

00:10:24.440 you believe are true.

00:10:25.960 Because then that would tell us

00:10:27.140 if you just believe everything

00:10:28.300 or this is just the one thing

00:10:30.860 you believe that's not true.

00:10:32.260 Because that's important.

00:10:34.160 Wouldn't you like to know

00:10:35.040 if somebody is fooled

00:10:35.900 by every hoax?

00:10:38.680 Or are they only fooled

00:10:39.860 by maybe this one?

00:10:40.740 Which wouldn't be so bad,

00:10:41.720 right?

00:10:41.920 Just one hoax.

00:10:42.940 We can all be taken in

00:10:44.200 by one hoax.

00:10:45.540 That's just normal.

00:10:47.040 And then he would resist

00:10:48.100 a little bit

00:10:48.660 and I'd say,

00:10:49.160 all right,

00:10:49.460 all right,

00:10:49.740 let's let that go.

00:10:51.900 My third question is,

00:10:54.180 what's your feeling

00:10:55.220 about the Loch Ness Monster?

00:10:58.040 And then he'd be like,

00:10:58.780 come on,

00:10:59.780 come on.

00:11:01.300 I need to take this seriously.

00:11:04.200 And I would say,

00:11:04.840 what do you mean?

00:11:07.140 What do you mean

00:11:07.800 taking it seriously?

00:11:08.620 I am taking it seriously.

00:11:10.980 We're talking about

00:11:11.920 all the hoaxes you believe.

00:11:13.380 I'm just trying to forget

00:11:14.240 your opinion on it.

00:11:16.320 How about the

00:11:17.160 fine people hoax, Ted?

00:11:19.040 Do you believe that one?

00:11:20.520 You do.

00:11:21.460 You do.

00:11:21.960 Okay.

00:11:22.840 All right.

00:11:24.020 And then you just go down

00:11:25.140 the list of hoaxes

00:11:26.420 and you see how many

00:11:27.120 he agrees with.

00:11:30.360 Trust me,

00:11:31.060 it's better than telling him

00:11:32.180 he's got his facts wrong.

00:11:34.320 All right.

00:11:37.960 So Georgia,

00:11:39.720 the governor has signed

00:11:40.980 this Georgia election bill.

00:11:42.420 It has,

00:11:43.960 it's a hundred page

00:11:44.720 election bill,

00:11:45.580 so there's lots of stuff

00:11:46.520 in it,

00:11:46.960 but it includes stuff

00:11:48.600 such as

00:11:49.720 including

00:11:50.660 requirement for photo ID,

00:11:53.480 even for mail-in ballots,

00:11:55.460 reducing early voting

00:11:56.680 for runoff elections,

00:11:58.360 and banning the distribution

00:11:59.540 of food and drinks

00:12:00.360 to people waiting in line.

00:12:02.100 I guess the theory there

00:12:03.120 is that that can influence

00:12:04.160 their vote somehow.

00:12:05.800 I don't see how.

00:12:07.480 By the time you're

00:12:08.180 standing in line,

00:12:09.900 are you still undecided?

00:12:11.200 Or is this just

00:12:14.420 to keep people

00:12:15.020 standing in line?

00:12:16.040 You give them food

00:12:16.700 and drink,

00:12:17.140 they'll stay there longer?

00:12:18.240 I don't know.

00:12:19.120 What's the thinking

00:12:19.920 on this?

00:12:20.860 So you and I

00:12:21.960 probably don't know

00:12:22.620 all the details

00:12:23.220 of why these

00:12:24.000 are even in the law.

00:12:25.740 The Democrats say

00:12:26.940 it's voter suppression. 0.88

00:12:30.400 Is it?

00:12:32.300 Are the Georgia laws

00:12:33.940 voter suppression?

00:12:35.980 Of course they are.

00:12:37.160 Of course they are.

00:12:38.660 Now,

00:12:39.200 they don't sell it

00:12:40.240 that way.

00:12:41.200 But of course it is.

00:12:43.620 Just as

00:12:44.540 the rules changes

00:12:46.120 for 2020

00:12:47.920 were,

00:12:49.880 let's just say

00:12:52.180 they were

00:12:52.720 politically motivated

00:12:54.060 as opposed to

00:12:55.360 fairness motivated.

00:12:57.680 They weren't so much

00:12:58.680 for the Republic,

00:12:59.420 they were for the Democrats.

00:13:01.560 So we have a situation

00:13:02.680 where,

00:13:03.540 in all likelihood,

00:13:04.460 I think most smart people

00:13:05.520 would say this is true,

00:13:07.100 that the 2020 election

00:13:08.740 was decided

00:13:09.600 was decided

00:13:09.620 largely

00:13:10.620 by the rule changes

00:13:13.040 that happened

00:13:14.380 before the election.

00:13:16.000 Wouldn't you say?

00:13:16.920 Because the rule changes

00:13:18.100 allowed, you know,

00:13:19.220 far more people

00:13:20.060 to vote

00:13:20.660 in ways

00:13:22.220 that people questioned.

00:13:23.660 But there were

00:13:24.480 more of them.

00:13:25.820 Lots more people

00:13:26.680 voted,

00:13:27.120 there's no doubt

00:13:27.660 about that.

00:13:28.160 And so some people

00:13:29.600 say that the rule changes

00:13:31.140 is what determined

00:13:32.060 who the president is,

00:13:33.480 as opposed to

00:13:34.320 the public.

00:13:35.860 Because the public

00:13:36.600 was the same public

00:13:37.620 before the rules

00:13:39.320 as after.

00:13:40.580 The public

00:13:41.300 didn't change.

00:13:42.520 It's just how

00:13:43.400 they count stuff

00:13:44.180 and who they can

00:13:45.240 get to the polls

00:13:46.040 and how easily

00:13:46.720 you vote.

00:13:47.620 The rule changes

00:13:49.040 decided who won.

00:13:50.040 So Georgia,

00:13:52.500 you know,

00:13:53.180 having a,

00:13:53.960 apparently a Republican

00:13:55.320 legislature,

00:13:58.520 they just decided

00:13:59.660 to win next time

00:14:00.620 by changing the rules.

00:14:02.260 So they just changed

00:14:03.420 the rules

00:14:03.860 in a different way.

00:14:06.540 Okay.

00:14:07.860 So they just changed

00:14:08.720 the rules

00:14:09.140 in a different way.

00:14:11.520 Would this be enough

00:14:12.680 to guarantee

00:14:13.260 that Republicans

00:14:14.580 do better

00:14:15.220 in the next

00:14:15.680 presidential election?

00:14:17.180 Well,

00:14:17.540 if it's just Georgia,

00:14:18.600 maybe that's not enough,

00:14:19.480 but will other states

00:14:20.660 follow?

00:14:22.780 Right?

00:14:23.700 Don't you think

00:14:24.240 other states

00:14:24.800 will follow?

00:14:26.080 And we may see

00:14:27.260 the Republicans

00:14:28.080 smartening up

00:14:29.660 and just making

00:14:30.880 rule changes

00:14:31.720 that are designed

00:14:32.460 for nothing

00:14:32.920 but winning elections.

00:14:34.700 Let's face it.

00:14:36.180 This is designed

00:14:37.300 to win elections.

00:14:38.400 It's not about

00:14:39.160 what's fair

00:14:40.080 or good.

00:14:40.640 Nobody cares about that.

00:14:42.080 Nobody in the government

00:14:42.980 cares about that.

00:14:43.880 They want to get

00:14:44.340 re-elected.

00:14:46.980 So I feel as though

00:14:48.800 given that

00:14:49.940 the 2020 election

00:14:50.980 was based entirely

00:14:52.120 on shenanigans

00:14:53.200 with rules,

00:14:55.060 that if Georgia

00:14:56.240 does some shenanigans

00:14:57.420 with rules,

00:14:58.860 they're playing

00:14:59.660 the same game.

00:15:01.180 I feel that's fair.

00:15:03.220 I don't think

00:15:03.980 the rules are fair

00:15:04.840 because fairness

00:15:06.460 isn't a real thing.

00:15:07.740 It's just subjective.

00:15:09.900 But it's a good strategy

00:15:11.560 and I think

00:15:12.400 it's perfectly

00:15:13.500 acceptable

00:15:14.240 in the context

00:15:15.340 of the rule changes

00:15:17.040 being the only thing

00:15:17.840 that determines

00:15:18.400 an election.

00:15:20.580 All right.

00:15:22.920 This is fun.

00:15:24.260 So Dominion,

00:15:25.480 the election

00:15:26.380 software,

00:15:29.520 do they have

00:15:29.880 hardware and software?

00:15:31.240 Is it just software?

00:15:32.520 But Dominion,

00:15:35.020 I guess it's both

00:15:35.760 hardware and software,

00:15:38.060 is suing Fox News

00:15:38.980 for $1.6 billion

00:15:40.180 because they say

00:15:41.920 that Fox

00:15:43.280 was claiming

00:15:43.940 that the Dominion

00:15:46.720 stuff was

00:15:47.280 intentionally rigged.

00:15:48.880 That was the claim.

00:15:50.000 There's no court

00:15:50.960 evidence of that

00:15:51.900 whatsoever.

00:15:53.380 No court proof.

00:15:55.940 No court has ruled

00:15:57.180 that Dominion

00:15:58.920 did anything wrong.

00:16:01.680 But here's

00:16:02.360 the interesting thing.

00:16:04.220 Have you ever

00:16:04.700 heard the phrase

00:16:05.420 a Pyrrhic victory?

00:16:08.080 I don't even know

00:16:08.620 if I'm pronouncing it right.

00:16:09.640 It might be

00:16:10.080 Pyrrhic.

00:16:11.140 It's spelled

00:16:12.440 P-Y-R-R-H-I-C. 1.00

00:16:16.260 Have you ever

00:16:16.540 heard that?

00:16:17.440 I'm teaching you

00:16:18.380 that because

00:16:19.000 you hear that

00:16:20.200 by people

00:16:21.940 talking on TV.

00:16:23.420 If somebody

00:16:24.220 uses this phrase,

00:16:25.780 they're bad

00:16:26.360 at talking on TV.

00:16:28.080 Because if you're

00:16:28.900 talking on TV,

00:16:29.840 you shouldn't

00:16:30.140 use phrases

00:16:30.780 that 75%

00:16:32.940 of the public

00:16:33.500 or more

00:16:33.960 have never heard of.

00:16:35.540 Right?

00:16:35.960 But I'm going

00:16:36.520 to teach you

00:16:37.220 so when you hear

00:16:38.280 it on TV next,

00:16:39.180 you'll know

00:16:39.440 what it means.

00:16:39.800 A Pyrrhic victory.

00:16:42.380 It's a historical

00:16:43.480 reference

00:16:44.120 to an army

00:16:45.980 that won

00:16:46.780 the battle,

00:16:48.060 but so many

00:16:48.960 of their soldiers

00:16:50.680 were injured

00:16:51.420 or killed

00:16:51.820 in the battle

00:16:52.320 that they ended

00:16:53.520 up losing

00:16:54.180 the war

00:16:54.800 because they

00:16:56.420 used up

00:16:56.880 too much

00:16:57.260 of their resources

00:16:57.900 winning a battle.

00:16:59.300 So the idea

00:17:00.140 here is

00:17:00.820 you can win

00:17:01.620 the battle,

00:17:02.360 but be careful

00:17:03.140 that that didn't

00:17:03.860 cost you the war.

00:17:04.900 It feels

00:17:07.380 like Dominion

00:17:08.300 might win

00:17:10.400 the battle

00:17:11.060 because

00:17:14.060 they might

00:17:15.340 prevail

00:17:15.800 in the court

00:17:16.360 case.

00:17:16.920 That's possible.

00:17:18.160 But what is

00:17:18.800 Fox's defense?

00:17:21.860 What do you

00:17:22.320 think?

00:17:23.400 Will Fox

00:17:24.160 use the

00:17:24.780 Sidney Powell

00:17:25.380 defense,

00:17:26.060 which is,

00:17:27.020 well,

00:17:27.180 you can't

00:17:27.560 take anything

00:17:28.080 we say

00:17:28.540 seriously.

00:17:31.120 It worked

00:17:31.720 for,

00:17:32.180 didn't it

00:17:32.460 work for

00:17:33.140 MSNBC

00:17:34.360 with,

00:17:36.080 what's her

00:17:36.820 name,

00:17:37.680 when she

00:17:38.160 got sued,

00:17:38.820 didn't she

00:17:39.260 actually win

00:17:39.960 her case 0.53

00:17:40.460 by saying

00:17:40.940 you shouldn't

00:17:41.320 take anything

00:17:41.800 I say

00:17:42.140 seriously

00:17:42.580 on a news

00:17:43.820 channel?

00:17:44.400 Because she's

00:17:45.080 an opinion

00:17:45.420 person,

00:17:46.080 Rachel Maddow,

00:17:47.020 right?

00:17:47.580 I believe

00:17:48.040 she used

00:17:48.420 that defense.

00:17:49.380 Sidney Powell

00:17:49.880 is going

00:17:50.160 to use

00:17:50.400 the defense.

00:17:51.420 I think

00:17:51.840 it'll work.

00:17:53.180 I think

00:17:53.540 it's a

00:17:53.920 solid defense.

00:17:55.440 But there's

00:17:55.880 another thing

00:17:56.420 that's about

00:17:56.960 to happen

00:17:57.540 that I don't

00:17:58.960 know if

00:17:59.780 Dominion has

00:18:00.960 calculated in.

00:18:02.460 Unless this

00:18:03.440 is actually

00:18:03.900 part of

00:18:04.240 their exit

00:18:04.740 plan to

00:18:05.280 leave the

00:18:05.640 business.

00:18:07.180 Because it

00:18:07.740 looks like

00:18:08.180 it could

00:18:08.500 be.

00:18:09.220 I'm not

00:18:09.580 saying that's

00:18:10.100 the case

00:18:10.560 because they'll

00:18:10.980 sue me.

00:18:11.800 I'm just

00:18:12.160 saying if you

00:18:12.600 look at it

00:18:13.020 from the

00:18:13.240 outside,

00:18:14.180 it looks

00:18:14.540 like a

00:18:14.920 company that

00:18:15.440 plans to

00:18:16.020 go out of

00:18:16.360 business,

00:18:16.920 but maybe

00:18:17.260 they can

00:18:17.580 win some

00:18:17.960 money on

00:18:18.340 the way

00:18:18.560 out.

00:18:19.740 Because

00:18:20.160 here's what's

00:18:20.680 going to

00:18:20.920 happen,

00:18:21.480 I think.

00:18:23.560 At least

00:18:24.200 it's what

00:18:24.580 would happen

00:18:25.200 if I were

00:18:25.940 the lawyers

00:18:27.500 and I had

00:18:28.220 at least the

00:18:29.100 freedom to

00:18:29.640 introduce this.

00:18:30.360 I would

00:18:32.020 put electronic

00:18:32.840 voting machines

00:18:33.620 on trial.

00:18:36.520 If you can

00:18:37.600 get away

00:18:37.960 with it.

00:18:38.480 I'm not

00:18:38.940 sure what

00:18:39.300 will be

00:18:39.620 allowed as

00:18:40.960 evidence here.

00:18:43.240 But Fox

00:18:44.560 News, if I

00:18:45.900 were them and

00:18:46.540 I were trying

00:18:46.920 to come up

00:18:47.400 with a

00:18:47.660 strategy, I

00:18:48.760 would try to 0.89

00:18:49.360 destroy the

00:18:50.340 idea of

00:18:51.000 electronic voting

00:18:51.960 no matter who

00:18:52.640 it is.

00:18:53.100 I wouldn't

00:18:54.240 even make

00:18:54.700 it about

00:18:55.140 Dominion.

00:18:56.880 I wouldn't

00:18:57.520 even say

00:18:58.200 this isn't

00:18:58.720 even really

00:18:59.140 about them.

00:19:00.080 You could

00:19:00.420 change the

00:19:00.860 name of

00:19:01.120 the company

00:19:01.560 and the

00:19:02.020 argument would

00:19:02.600 be exactly

00:19:03.140 the same.

00:19:04.180 Which is

00:19:04.820 that it's a

00:19:06.060 system that

00:19:06.600 isn't

00:19:06.920 transparent and

00:19:09.020 therefore

00:19:09.520 reasonable people

00:19:10.940 can have an

00:19:11.500 opinion that it

00:19:12.140 wasn't fair or

00:19:13.520 there were

00:19:14.040 issues with

00:19:14.500 it.

00:19:15.360 Now, if

00:19:16.920 they do

00:19:17.360 that, they

00:19:19.060 could probably

00:19:19.880 salt the

00:19:20.700 earth so

00:19:21.320 effectively that

00:19:23.000 our government

00:19:23.720 can no longer

00:19:24.480 support electronic

00:19:26.520 voting.

00:19:28.400 So one of the

00:19:29.400 things that might

00:19:29.980 come out of

00:19:30.440 this is the

00:19:31.660 death of

00:19:32.120 electronic voting

00:19:33.100 everywhere.

00:19:35.160 Now, I don't

00:19:35.980 know if Dominion

00:19:36.740 knows that

00:19:37.580 that's one of

00:19:38.160 the outcomes.

00:19:39.260 That the

00:19:39.840 entire market

00:19:40.780 for their

00:19:41.320 product could

00:19:42.840 disappear because

00:19:44.060 of this.

00:19:45.640 Now, as

00:19:46.880 high-powered as

00:19:47.700 Sidney Powell

00:19:48.300 is, when they

00:19:49.240 take on Sidney

00:19:49.960 Powell, they

00:19:50.960 are taking

00:19:51.360 on one

00:19:51.780 person.

00:19:53.380 Very high-skilled,

00:19:55.820 experienced

00:19:56.420 attorney.

00:19:58.060 That's pretty

00:19:58.720 dangerous by

00:19:59.360 itself, right?

00:20:00.100 You take on an

00:20:00.940 attorney at that

00:20:01.600 level, you'd

00:20:02.800 better have the 1.00

00:20:03.440 kill shot. 1.00

00:20:05.060 You go after the 1.00

00:20:05.960 king, you know

00:20:06.520 the saying, right?

00:20:07.220 You try to take

00:20:08.520 out the king, you

00:20:09.780 better finish the

00:20:10.720 job, because if

00:20:12.340 the king survives,

00:20:13.980 you're in a lot

00:20:14.780 of trouble for

00:20:15.780 trying to take

00:20:16.340 out the king.

00:20:16.880 Well, I think

00:20:19.420 that Dominion

00:20:20.020 is sort of

00:20:20.960 bigger than

00:20:22.120 or more

00:20:22.780 powerful than

00:20:23.540 Sidney Powell,

00:20:24.500 despite her

00:20:25.180 firepower, which

00:20:26.120 is considerable.

00:20:27.340 So that was

00:20:28.100 probably a good

00:20:28.680 play to take

00:20:29.340 her on. 0.93

00:20:30.900 But Fox

00:20:31.800 News is another

00:20:32.640 animal.

00:20:35.420 Fox News, I

00:20:37.320 don't think they

00:20:38.100 understand how

00:20:39.440 much firepower can

00:20:40.640 come from that

00:20:41.300 side of the

00:20:41.800 world.

00:20:42.680 I just don't

00:20:43.520 think they

00:20:43.980 understand what

00:20:44.660 they're getting

00:20:45.020 into.

00:20:45.400 I don't

00:20:45.580 know.

00:20:46.980 But I

00:20:48.600 would think

00:20:49.020 that the

00:20:49.460 Rupert Murdoch

00:20:50.600 group, especially

00:20:53.320 supported by

00:20:54.220 Fox News, who

00:20:55.780 are professional

00:20:56.960 communicators,

00:20:58.440 right?

00:20:59.220 They're sort of

00:20:59.900 the best

00:21:00.320 communicators in

00:21:02.260 the world.

00:21:03.360 You know, not

00:21:03.820 just because

00:21:04.440 they're right

00:21:04.960 leading, but

00:21:05.620 that's their

00:21:06.380 job.

00:21:07.220 They do it

00:21:07.700 professionally.

00:21:10.900 And between

00:21:11.900 what Fox News

00:21:12.960 will report

00:21:13.840 about this,

00:21:15.020 because they

00:21:15.980 can report

00:21:16.540 it, it's

00:21:17.360 news.

00:21:18.120 Even though

00:21:18.760 it's about

00:21:19.200 them, it's

00:21:20.640 still news, so

00:21:22.000 they can report

00:21:22.660 it.

00:21:23.520 What do you

00:21:23.940 think Fox

00:21:24.560 News is going

00:21:25.220 to start

00:21:25.560 running as

00:21:26.420 specials?

00:21:28.600 Just guessing

00:21:29.660 they're going

00:21:30.920 to run a lot

00:21:31.420 of specials

00:21:32.100 about how

00:21:32.540 voting machines

00:21:33.340 in general

00:21:34.380 are a really

00:21:36.380 big problem.

00:21:39.200 I've got a

00:21:40.040 feeling that

00:21:41.260 Rupert Murdoch is

00:21:42.520 going to end

00:21:43.280 electronic voting.

00:21:45.020 as a legal

00:21:46.300 defense,

00:21:46.860 basically.

00:21:47.620 Now, he

00:21:47.960 might lose

00:21:48.400 the case.

00:21:49.760 Fox News

00:21:50.200 might lose

00:21:50.700 this case,

00:21:52.040 but I think

00:21:52.700 he's going to

00:21:54.380 kneecap the

00:21:54.900 entire industry

00:21:55.760 as just part

00:21:56.980 of the natural

00:21:57.980 process of the

00:21:58.800 defense.

00:21:59.900 So we'll see.

00:22:01.800 Let's talk

00:22:02.520 about Biden's

00:22:03.120 press conference.

00:22:05.000 Before the

00:22:05.580 press conference,

00:22:06.300 I had tweeted

00:22:07.040 that I was

00:22:08.440 asking people

00:22:09.000 to write

00:22:09.480 humorous reviews

00:22:11.260 news of his

00:22:12.100 press conference

00:22:12.880 before it even

00:22:13.660 happened,

00:22:14.600 knowing in

00:22:15.200 advance that

00:22:15.860 the friendly

00:22:16.480 press would

00:22:17.120 say he did

00:22:18.360 incredibly well.

00:22:19.540 So let's see

00:22:20.000 how close we

00:22:20.580 got.

00:22:21.520 Here are some

00:22:22.020 of the actual

00:22:22.660 comments after

00:22:23.960 the press

00:22:24.380 conference.

00:22:25.280 This is from

00:22:25.820 the Drudge

00:22:26.800 Report,

00:22:28.100 who used to

00:22:29.260 be right-leaning,

00:22:30.080 but I guess

00:22:30.720 not so much

00:22:31.520 anymore.

00:22:32.420 It said,

00:22:33.080 Joe's no-drama

00:22:34.060 press conference,

00:22:35.680 chill style,

00:22:37.080 grand vision

00:22:37.780 for FDR

00:22:38.640 presidency,

00:22:40.040 art of the

00:22:40.580 impossible.

00:22:42.800 Not bad.

00:22:43.980 The Washington

00:22:44.400 Post says,

00:22:46.100 in an opinion

00:22:46.620 piece,

00:22:47.480 Biden excels

00:22:48.560 at his first

00:22:49.200 news conference,

00:22:50.480 the media

00:22:50.960 embarrasses

00:22:51.680 themselves.

00:22:53.520 And there

00:22:53.860 were other

00:22:54.220 glowing,

00:22:54.900 glowing reports,

00:22:56.140 Ted Luz,

00:22:56.680 for example.

00:22:57.860 So let me

00:22:58.300 give you my

00:22:58.940 opinion here.

00:23:00.920 It wasn't

00:23:01.460 bad.

00:23:02.580 It wasn't

00:23:02.980 bad.

00:23:03.860 Now, I

00:23:04.400 thought that he

00:23:05.940 would do okay.

00:23:07.020 Now, I'm only

00:23:07.720 going to talk

00:23:08.140 about performance

00:23:08.840 here.

00:23:09.680 If you're new

00:23:10.280 to my live

00:23:10.940 streams, this

00:23:12.560 is the thing

00:23:13.060 you need to

00:23:13.480 know.

00:23:14.020 I'm not

00:23:14.460 talking about

00:23:15.120 how accurate

00:23:16.660 he was with

00:23:17.340 facts, because

00:23:18.560 he didn't pass

00:23:19.240 the fact

00:23:19.620 checks.

00:23:20.580 Neither did

00:23:21.180 Trump.

00:23:22.620 Presidents

00:23:23.100 typically fail

00:23:24.220 the fact

00:23:24.680 checking at

00:23:25.240 press

00:23:25.460 conferences.

00:23:26.620 Biden did

00:23:27.240 too.

00:23:28.180 So how do I

00:23:29.640 hold that

00:23:30.040 against him?

00:23:31.280 I don't.

00:23:32.680 I don't.

00:23:33.640 The news

00:23:34.140 did what it

00:23:35.860 does.

00:23:36.260 Even CNN

00:23:36.900 fact-checked

00:23:37.580 him.

00:23:38.280 So how

00:23:38.860 much do I

00:23:39.420 care that

00:23:40.740 he got

00:23:41.020 some facts

00:23:41.620 wrong?

00:23:42.840 Not any

00:23:43.500 more than I

00:23:43.980 cared when

00:23:44.420 Trump got

00:23:44.880 some facts

00:23:45.340 wrong.

00:23:45.880 They all

00:23:46.400 do that.

00:23:47.060 That's what

00:23:47.460 the news

00:23:47.860 is for.

00:23:48.860 They're

00:23:49.080 supposed to

00:23:49.480 fact-check

00:23:49.960 him, and

00:23:50.260 they did.

00:23:50.860 Even CNN

00:23:51.480 fact-checked

00:23:52.160 him.

00:23:52.520 So don't

00:23:53.640 care about

00:23:54.020 that.

00:23:54.940 How about

00:23:55.440 his verbal

00:23:56.920 miscues, where

00:23:58.180 he would start

00:23:58.740 a sentence and

00:23:59.480 it would just

00:23:59.880 trail off to

00:24:00.680 nothing?

00:24:02.200 Pretty scary,

00:24:03.200 right?

00:24:03.380 This guy's

00:24:04.760 got the

00:24:05.340 nuclear codes,

00:24:06.460 and he's

00:24:07.180 the president

00:24:07.580 of the United

00:24:08.020 States, and

00:24:09.040 he can't

00:24:09.420 finish his

00:24:09.980 sentence without

00:24:10.940 running off into

00:24:11.920 bumbling confusion

00:24:13.040 and just saying,

00:24:13.760 ah, well,

00:24:14.180 that's enough.

00:24:15.760 Scary?

00:24:17.740 Nope.

00:24:18.920 It's not.

00:24:20.060 Because we're

00:24:20.760 used to it.

00:24:22.060 It was already

00:24:22.600 baked in.

00:24:23.820 In the same

00:24:24.680 way that much

00:24:26.220 of Trump's

00:24:26.900 personality very

00:24:28.820 quickly just

00:24:29.500 got baked

00:24:30.060 in, and

00:24:30.720 it no longer

00:24:31.500 became important

00:24:32.480 to your mind

00:24:33.240 anyway.

00:24:33.980 It was always

00:24:34.560 the same amount

00:24:35.240 of importance,

00:24:36.480 but the way

00:24:36.960 your mind

00:24:37.640 processes it

00:24:38.520 is if you're

00:24:39.420 used to it.

00:24:40.740 And we're

00:24:41.000 just sort of

00:24:41.540 used to it.

00:24:42.880 And we are

00:24:44.540 told that

00:24:45.980 Biden's little

00:24:47.280 verbal miscues

00:24:49.140 are nothing but

00:24:50.920 Joe Biden.

00:24:51.840 Yeah, he's

00:24:52.280 older, he's a

00:24:53.120 little less fast,

00:24:54.140 but it's not

00:24:54.920 that different

00:24:55.600 than he's

00:24:56.080 always been,

00:24:57.360 or at least

00:24:57.860 how he's been

00:24:58.500 for years.

00:24:59.660 So how much

00:25:00.500 do I hold

00:25:01.280 that against

00:25:01.820 him, that a

00:25:02.580 lot of his

00:25:03.020 sentences were

00:25:04.080 bumblingly,

00:25:06.340 incompetently

00:25:07.220 ended without

00:25:08.440 an ending?

00:25:09.840 Not much.

00:25:11.260 It's sort of

00:25:11.920 everything we

00:25:13.000 knew he was.

00:25:14.260 So I would

00:25:14.740 say that didn't

00:25:15.260 move the needle. 0.70

00:25:16.600 It may have

00:25:17.000 confirmed what

00:25:17.620 you thought,

00:25:18.640 but it didn't

00:25:19.020 move anything.

00:25:20.720 I doubt there

00:25:21.740 was any

00:25:22.360 Democrat who

00:25:23.760 watched that

00:25:24.280 and said for

00:25:24.800 the first time

00:25:25.480 ever, oh,

00:25:26.660 the way he

00:25:27.200 talks, now

00:25:28.460 I'm worried.

00:25:30.020 Do you

00:25:30.300 think any

00:25:30.720 Democrat did

00:25:31.340 that?

00:25:32.380 Probably not,

00:25:33.240 right?

00:25:33.620 But every

00:25:34.240 Republican said,

00:25:35.100 oh, that's

00:25:35.460 just what I

00:25:35.880 thought.

00:25:36.320 Look at him,

00:25:36.880 he can't

00:25:37.540 finish the

00:25:37.940 sentence.

00:25:38.700 So nobody's

00:25:39.500 mind was

00:25:39.960 changed by

00:25:41.200 that.

00:25:41.620 All right?

00:25:44.180 How do you feel

00:25:45.040 about the fact

00:25:45.600 that the news

00:25:46.240 is reporting

00:25:46.780 that the

00:25:47.440 questions were

00:25:48.540 known in

00:25:49.060 advance and

00:25:49.880 that he had

00:25:50.320 answers literally

00:25:51.840 written out in

00:25:52.700 notes, and

00:25:54.020 that he came

00:25:54.500 very close to

00:25:55.300 reading verbatim

00:25:56.300 his notes as

00:25:57.900 his answers to

00:25:58.540 the questions.

00:25:59.040 What do you

00:25:59.280 think of that?

00:26:01.160 Well, I have

00:26:02.580 a contrarian

00:26:04.240 view on that.

00:26:06.300 I'm one of

00:26:07.160 the people,

00:26:07.700 and you

00:26:08.100 probably did

00:26:08.560 too, who

00:26:09.180 praised

00:26:09.820 Kayleigh

00:26:10.760 McEnany for

00:26:11.680 being well

00:26:12.260 prepared and

00:26:13.500 having a

00:26:13.900 whole binder

00:26:14.460 that she

00:26:14.940 could refer

00:26:15.380 to so she

00:26:16.420 could be

00:26:17.020 really quick

00:26:17.640 and sharp

00:26:18.140 on all the

00:26:18.620 answers.

00:26:19.760 Now, if

00:26:20.240 we complimented

00:26:22.360 Kayleigh

00:26:22.660 McEnany for

00:26:24.200 being very

00:26:24.820 prepared and

00:26:25.520 organized and

00:26:26.340 having it

00:26:26.760 written down

00:26:27.360 so she

00:26:27.720 didn't miss

00:26:28.120 any good

00:26:28.520 points, why

00:26:30.240 isn't that the

00:26:30.780 same for

00:26:31.080 Biden?

00:26:32.520 You know, it's

00:26:33.060 being reported

00:26:33.700 by mostly

00:26:34.520 people on the

00:26:35.100 right that

00:26:36.340 this is a

00:26:37.060 sign of his

00:26:37.680 declining

00:26:38.180 capabilities,

00:26:39.300 etc.

00:26:39.680 And it

00:26:40.040 might be.

00:26:41.120 That's a

00:26:41.560 perfectly

00:26:41.880 reasonable

00:26:42.540 opinion.

00:26:43.780 It looks

00:26:44.200 exactly like

00:26:44.920 that, actually.

00:26:46.160 But at the

00:26:46.860 same time, he

00:26:48.380 was really

00:26:48.820 well prepared.

00:26:51.280 Right?

00:26:52.540 Now, you

00:26:53.460 could say that

00:26:54.040 there were

00:26:54.340 some questions

00:26:54.860 he didn't

00:26:55.300 answer.

00:26:56.020 Like, you

00:26:56.360 know, I

00:26:56.680 think there

00:26:56.980 was a gun

00:26:58.000 control answer

00:26:58.880 that he went

00:26:59.960 into immigration

00:27:00.680 or vice

00:27:01.280 versa.

00:27:02.080 And there

00:27:02.460 were things

00:27:02.760 he avoided.

00:27:03.720 But how

00:27:04.020 much do you

00:27:04.720 count against

00:27:07.000 a president

00:27:07.560 for avoiding

00:27:08.260 a direct

00:27:08.740 question?

00:27:09.980 Well, they

00:27:10.400 all do it.

00:27:11.280 Right?

00:27:11.900 So you

00:27:12.400 can't give

00:27:12.820 him a pass

00:27:13.540 for it, but

00:27:14.200 you would

00:27:14.620 say in

00:27:15.140 context, it's

00:27:17.360 pretty common

00:27:18.080 that they

00:27:18.440 avoid questions.

00:27:19.620 I would say

00:27:20.120 Trump probably

00:27:20.780 didn't do

00:27:21.320 that.

00:27:22.380 I think

00:27:22.800 Trump is

00:27:23.240 maybe the

00:27:23.660 only one

00:27:24.080 who would

00:27:24.320 answer a

00:27:24.900 question

00:27:25.240 without trying

00:27:27.180 to just

00:27:27.560 change the

00:27:28.020 topic.

00:27:28.980 Has anybody

00:27:29.460 else ever

00:27:29.920 done that?

00:27:31.380 Is Trump

00:27:31.900 the only

00:27:32.400 president we've

00:27:33.060 had who

00:27:33.440 would answer

00:27:33.900 a direct

00:27:34.300 question?

00:27:35.760 Maybe Obama

00:27:36.480 did, you

00:27:38.180 know, in

00:27:38.460 his own

00:27:38.800 way.

00:27:41.900 There might

00:27:42.580 have been

00:27:42.760 more.

00:27:43.960 But so

00:27:44.540 performance-wise,

00:27:45.940 he stayed

00:27:46.340 awake.

00:27:47.300 He didn't

00:27:47.680 say anything

00:27:49.340 that was

00:27:49.660 clearly

00:27:50.240 dementia.

00:27:51.220 It was

00:27:51.440 just more

00:27:51.960 of what

00:27:52.600 we expected

00:27:53.200 of him.

00:27:54.820 And he

00:27:55.380 looked like

00:27:55.800 he had

00:27:56.020 some

00:27:56.380 command

00:27:57.200 of the

00:27:57.520 facts.

00:27:59.800 Yeah, I

00:28:00.380 am being

00:28:00.720 generous.

00:28:01.640 So somebody

00:28:02.120 in the

00:28:02.320 comments says,

00:28:03.220 I'm being

00:28:03.660 too generous

00:28:04.360 to Biden.

00:28:05.520 I'm being

00:28:06.020 generous.

00:28:07.280 I don't

00:28:07.580 think I'm

00:28:07.900 being too

00:28:08.280 generous.

00:28:09.360 I'm trying

00:28:09.700 to use the

00:28:10.680 same amount

00:28:11.160 of generosity

00:28:11.780 I would

00:28:12.280 have used

00:28:12.880 had it

00:28:13.500 been Trump.

00:28:14.580 Right?

00:28:14.800 Just trying

00:28:15.140 to make

00:28:15.400 some kind

00:28:17.260 of a

00:28:17.460 comparison.

00:28:18.420 Now, I'll

00:28:18.820 tell you

00:28:19.140 that I

00:28:20.060 would say

00:28:20.400 it's very

00:28:20.860 clear that

00:28:21.500 Biden is

00:28:22.260 not making

00:28:23.160 the decisions.

00:28:24.580 It looks

00:28:24.940 pretty clear

00:28:25.520 that there's

00:28:26.200 a power

00:28:27.180 behind Biden.

00:28:28.460 But given

00:28:29.060 that they

00:28:29.480 prepared him

00:28:30.180 very well,

00:28:30.880 whoever they

00:28:31.360 are, I

00:28:32.720 feel at

00:28:33.180 least a

00:28:33.560 little bit

00:28:33.880 of confidence

00:28:34.400 that there

00:28:36.360 are actually

00:28:37.260 smart people

00:28:38.160 who are

00:28:38.900 in control.

00:28:39.840 We just

00:28:40.200 don't know

00:28:40.520 who they

00:28:40.800 are, which

00:28:41.880 is a

00:28:42.140 problem.

00:28:43.080 Wouldn't

00:28:43.340 you like to

00:28:43.800 know who's

00:28:44.120 in control?

00:28:45.400 I kind

00:28:46.040 of would.

00:28:47.200 Now, I was

00:28:47.720 trying to

00:28:48.040 think the

00:28:48.360 difference

00:28:48.720 between what

00:28:49.580 a Biden

00:28:50.300 meeting looks

00:28:51.720 like and

00:28:52.220 what a

00:28:52.600 Trump meeting

00:28:53.260 looks like.

00:28:54.160 We have

00:28:54.580 lots of

00:28:54.980 examples where

00:28:56.680 the advisors

00:28:57.480 said,

00:28:58.180 Trump, you've

00:28:58.700 got to do

00:28:59.180 X, and

00:29:00.340 then Trump

00:29:00.760 said, yeah,

00:29:01.400 but I'm

00:29:01.700 not going

00:29:02.140 to.

00:29:03.560 I'm going

00:29:04.060 to call

00:29:04.320 you an 1.00

00:29:04.660 idiot in 1.00

00:29:05.280 public, and 1.00

00:29:06.200 then I'm

00:29:06.480 going to do

00:29:06.700 the opposite

00:29:07.180 of what you

00:29:07.600 just recommended.

00:29:09.020 Hey, we

00:29:09.520 need to stay

00:29:10.100 in Afghanistan

00:29:10.700 with major

00:29:11.400 forces.

00:29:12.520 Yeah, I

00:29:13.040 hear what

00:29:13.340 you're saying.

00:29:13.840 We're not

00:29:14.160 going to do

00:29:14.540 that.

00:29:14.840 I'm going

00:29:15.520 to pull

00:29:15.740 people out

00:29:16.200 of Afghanistan.

00:29:17.360 Hey, we

00:29:17.880 can't possibly

00:29:18.480 have vaccinations

00:29:19.420 quickly.

00:29:21.760 Yeah, I

00:29:22.260 hear what

00:29:22.540 you're saying,

00:29:23.320 but you're

00:29:23.740 going to do

00:29:24.020 it anyway.

00:29:26.160 So how

00:29:26.820 many times

00:29:27.500 did Trump

00:29:28.140 tell his

00:29:28.940 experts that

00:29:29.940 he wasn't

00:29:30.400 going to

00:29:30.660 take their

00:29:31.020 advice?

00:29:32.240 I feel

00:29:32.780 like we've

00:29:33.200 got enough

00:29:33.640 examples of

00:29:34.340 that that

00:29:34.660 was fairly

00:29:35.140 common.

00:29:35.560 now, is

00:29:37.240 that the

00:29:37.560 president you

00:29:38.080 want?

00:29:39.220 Do you

00:29:39.500 want the 0.55

00:29:39.860 president who

00:29:40.720 goes against

00:29:42.100 the advice

00:29:42.740 of experts?

00:29:44.680 Or do you

00:29:45.360 want a

00:29:45.720 Biden-like

00:29:46.420 president who

00:29:47.220 tells you

00:29:47.860 directly he

00:29:48.420 will take

00:29:48.820 the advice

00:29:49.260 of experts?

00:29:50.300 And you

00:29:50.640 can see the

00:29:51.160 work of the

00:29:52.060 experts in

00:29:53.620 his presentation.

00:29:54.780 The experts

00:29:55.400 sort of packaged

00:29:56.880 up his

00:29:57.340 answers for

00:29:58.080 each topic,

00:30:00.040 and then he

00:30:00.420 presented it.

00:30:00.960 So he

00:30:01.700 basically was

00:30:02.320 a mouthpiece

00:30:03.140 for the

00:30:03.440 experts in

00:30:04.020 some way.

00:30:05.060 Did you see

00:30:05.520 any evidence

00:30:06.200 that Joe

00:30:07.020 Biden would

00:30:07.580 be capable

00:30:08.220 of telling

00:30:09.880 an expert

00:30:10.520 to go

00:30:11.100 pound salt?

00:30:13.200 Trump did

00:30:13.840 it every

00:30:14.140 day.

00:30:15.540 It was like

00:30:15.980 there probably

00:30:16.660 wasn't a day

00:30:17.540 that went by

00:30:18.080 when Trump

00:30:18.540 didn't call 0.99

00:30:19.220 bullshit on 0.98

00:30:19.880 an expert 1.00

00:30:20.340 and say,

00:30:21.300 yeah, I'm

00:30:21.520 not going to

00:30:21.860 do that.

00:30:22.260 I hear what

00:30:22.560 you're saying.

00:30:23.360 That's not

00:30:23.860 going to

00:30:24.040 happen.

00:30:25.560 Does Biden

00:30:26.020 ever do that?

00:30:27.800 And what do

00:30:28.420 you think about

00:30:28.900 that?

00:30:29.880 Which one's

00:30:30.480 the better

00:30:30.800 president?

00:30:32.040 Is the

00:30:32.700 better

00:30:32.940 president the

00:30:33.640 one who 1.00

00:30:33.940 calls bullshit 0.99

00:30:34.700 on the 1.00

00:30:35.180 experts?

00:30:36.260 Because if

00:30:36.980 you look at

00:30:37.540 Trump's record

00:30:38.540 of calling 0.99

00:30:39.900 bullshit on 0.99

00:30:40.780 experts, it's 1.00

00:30:42.780 really good.

00:30:44.240 Now, it's

00:30:44.860 not 100%.

00:30:45.880 It's not 100%.

00:30:47.160 I don't make

00:30:47.660 that claim.

00:30:48.740 But if you

00:30:49.160 were to look

00:30:49.480 at all the

00:30:50.400 things, you

00:30:51.380 know, don't

00:30:51.840 cherry pick,

00:30:52.860 just look at

00:30:53.460 all the things

00:30:54.420 that Trump 1.00

00:30:54.840 called bullshit 0.99

00:30:55.480 on, pretty 0.99

00:30:57.100 good record.

00:30:58.460 His hunches,

00:30:59.760 his lived

00:31:01.020 experience,

00:31:01.700 etc., do

00:31:03.020 give him

00:31:03.460 some kind

00:31:03.940 of an

00:31:04.220 advantage in

00:31:04.940 identifying 0.99

00:31:05.720 bullshit. 1.00

00:31:06.740 I think he 1.00

00:31:07.300 was very

00:31:08.060 good at it.

00:31:09.100 I don't

00:31:09.400 know if

00:31:09.640 Biden has

00:31:10.160 that.

00:31:10.720 He might,

00:31:11.640 but I

00:31:11.980 don't know.

00:31:12.240 So, here's

00:31:16.400 the thing

00:31:17.920 that's just

00:31:18.340 mind-blowing,

00:31:19.420 that Biden

00:31:19.860 is getting

00:31:20.360 basically a

00:31:21.160 pass on

00:31:21.640 this from

00:31:22.120 the friendly

00:31:22.880 side of

00:31:23.500 the media,

00:31:24.280 that when

00:31:24.980 he was

00:31:25.240 asked if

00:31:25.740 photographers

00:31:26.300 and the

00:31:27.400 press would

00:31:27.780 have access

00:31:28.380 to the

00:31:29.440 border-holding

00:31:30.920 facilities,

00:31:31.680 where we know

00:31:32.300 there's a bad

00:31:32.960 situation with

00:31:34.340 people overcrowded,

00:31:35.540 etc., and he

00:31:37.060 basically said

00:31:37.820 no.

00:31:39.340 He said,

00:31:39.980 we'll give you

00:31:40.420 access after we

00:31:41.380 fixed it, so

00:31:42.120 there's nothing

00:31:42.600 to see.

00:31:44.040 And he said

00:31:44.740 that right in

00:31:45.320 front of the

00:31:45.720 public, like

00:31:47.440 that was okay.

00:31:49.920 How's that

00:31:50.600 okay?

00:31:51.700 Even the

00:31:52.400 left was

00:31:52.900 saying, are

00:31:54.020 you serious?

00:31:55.780 That's not

00:31:56.500 okay.

00:31:57.740 That's not

00:31:58.440 okay for

00:31:58.880 anybody.

00:32:00.020 That's not

00:32:00.720 okay on the

00:32:01.340 right.

00:32:02.240 It's not

00:32:02.980 okay on the

00:32:03.660 left.

00:32:04.600 That's not

00:32:05.340 okay with

00:32:05.880 anybody.

00:32:07.220 Right?

00:32:08.400 But he just

00:32:09.220 got away with

00:32:09.760 that.

00:32:10.800 He's still

00:32:11.280 president, no

00:32:12.980 blowback

00:32:13.540 whatsoever, you

00:32:14.380 know, the

00:32:14.600 people on the

00:32:15.020 right or

00:32:15.400 blah, blah,

00:32:15.820 blah, but

00:32:16.260 it doesn't

00:32:16.560 matter.

00:32:17.500 It's just

00:32:17.980 words.

00:32:19.200 He actually

00:32:20.140 got away

00:32:20.940 with telling

00:32:22.680 you he

00:32:23.040 wasn't going

00:32:23.720 to give

00:32:24.060 you transparency

00:32:24.940 on, hold

00:32:25.960 on, a

00:32:27.980 human

00:32:28.560 crisis.

00:32:30.660 Now, he's

00:32:31.400 the guy who

00:32:31.860 cares the

00:32:32.460 most about,

00:32:34.160 you know,

00:32:34.540 that's his

00:32:35.340 brand, right?

00:32:36.040 He cares the

00:32:36.660 most about

00:32:37.800 the humanity

00:32:38.520 of the

00:32:39.100 actual migrant

00:32:40.000 sewer in a

00:32:40.600 bad situation

00:32:41.240 there.

00:32:42.020 And yet, he

00:32:42.520 won't let

00:32:42.940 the press

00:32:44.280 see the

00:32:45.380 bad situation.

00:32:49.340 It's

00:32:49.820 amazing that

00:32:50.440 he's getting

00:32:50.800 a pass on

00:32:51.380 this.

00:32:52.120 There's no

00:32:52.720 way that

00:32:53.060 Trump would

00:32:53.480 have.

00:32:56.340 So I

00:32:56.940 think that

00:32:57.240 was his

00:32:57.600 worst point

00:32:58.800 was the

00:32:59.700 immigration

00:33:00.760 stuff.

00:33:02.260 He was

00:33:03.060 boring. 0.98

00:33:05.120 Trump is

00:33:05.520 more interesting,

00:33:06.800 definitely.

00:33:07.180 And here's

00:33:10.920 another thing

00:33:11.360 I think he

00:33:11.760 got wrong.

00:33:12.860 On North

00:33:13.540 Korea, he 1.00

00:33:15.860 says that

00:33:16.580 basically they're

00:33:18.140 talking about

00:33:18.940 what to do

00:33:19.360 about it

00:33:19.880 because North

00:33:20.860 Korea fired 0.96

00:33:21.420 some missiles,

00:33:22.840 test missiles,

00:33:23.960 and Biden

00:33:26.860 is doing the

00:33:27.620 old thing

00:33:28.260 where you

00:33:28.580 say they

00:33:29.540 won't negotiate

00:33:30.340 with North

00:33:30.780 Korea unless 0.62

00:33:31.500 North Korea

00:33:32.080 commits to

00:33:33.640 negotiating toward

00:33:34.700 denuclearization.

00:33:36.760 Is that

00:33:37.380 going to

00:33:37.640 work?

00:33:39.040 Is that

00:33:39.660 going to

00:33:39.920 work?

00:33:40.860 Do you

00:33:41.140 think North

00:33:41.560 Korea is 0.98

00:33:41.980 going to

00:33:42.140 say, oh,

00:33:43.480 oh, well, I

00:33:44.980 didn't know

00:33:45.400 about this

00:33:45.820 whole denuclearizing

00:33:47.200 thing, yeah.

00:33:48.400 Well, now that

00:33:48.860 you mention it,

00:33:49.420 we'll just get

00:33:49.880 rid of our

00:33:50.280 nukes, and

00:33:50.920 then everything's

00:33:51.500 good, right?

00:33:52.420 How about

00:33:52.780 that?

00:33:53.700 I feel as

00:33:54.620 if Biden, and

00:33:56.540 really the way

00:33:57.420 we've always

00:33:57.880 treated North

00:33:58.380 Korea in the 0.90

00:33:58.740 past, is all

00:33:59.780 wrong, and

00:34:00.820 Trump was the

00:34:01.520 only one who

00:34:02.100 got that right.

00:34:02.860 And it goes

00:34:04.340 like this, North

00:34:06.180 Korea isn't 0.99

00:34:06.700 going to get

00:34:07.060 rid of their

00:34:07.400 nukes.

00:34:08.820 It's not

00:34:09.440 going to

00:34:09.620 happen.

00:34:11.080 I mean, even

00:34:11.740 if they, you

00:34:12.400 know, tone

00:34:12.860 down their

00:34:13.480 testing or

00:34:14.060 whatever, they're

00:34:14.520 still going to

00:34:14.820 have some

00:34:15.160 capacity that

00:34:16.020 they could ramp

00:34:17.720 up if they

00:34:18.200 had to.

00:34:18.960 The smarter

00:34:19.740 option is to

00:34:20.780 talk to North

00:34:21.440 Korea to talk

00:34:22.260 them out of

00:34:22.980 being our

00:34:23.420 enemy, and

00:34:24.920 just remove

00:34:25.700 the threat,

00:34:26.960 because we

00:34:27.320 don't have a

00:34:27.720 reason to

00:34:28.100 threaten them.

00:34:29.860 We have no

00:34:30.560 reason to do

00:34:32.140 anything bad

00:34:32.860 to North

00:34:33.300 Korea now 0.68

00:34:33.980 or ever, as

00:34:34.840 long as they

00:34:35.240 don't do bad

00:34:35.700 things to us.

00:34:36.580 And I think

00:34:37.260 that was the

00:34:37.960 Trump magic, that

00:34:40.220 he convinced

00:34:40.720 North Korea,

00:34:41.380 it's like, we're

00:34:42.320 not even in

00:34:42.900 your game.

00:34:44.300 We don't even

00:34:44.920 care about

00:34:45.420 you.

00:34:46.400 If you'd like

00:34:47.120 to make some

00:34:47.640 money, we

00:34:48.060 can help, but

00:34:49.240 that's the only

00:34:49.900 thing we care

00:34:50.560 about you, is

00:34:51.980 if you'd like to

00:34:52.620 make some money

00:34:53.100 with us, we

00:34:53.640 can help some

00:34:54.620 investments and

00:34:55.380 stuff.

00:34:56.000 Now, it's

00:34:56.500 going to be

00:34:56.740 hard to do if

00:34:57.820 you're on war

00:34:58.540 footing with

00:34:59.120 South Korea, but

00:35:00.740 that's your

00:35:01.120 business.

00:35:01.500 Our business

00:35:02.320 is we'd like

00:35:02.880 to do some

00:35:03.260 business with

00:35:03.740 you.

00:35:03.920 We don't

00:35:04.300 want to

00:35:04.540 attack you.

00:35:05.820 And what

00:35:06.240 happened?

00:35:06.860 North Korea

00:35:07.460 seems way less

00:35:09.060 aggressive or did

00:35:09.920 under Trump.

00:35:11.460 Now, that's

00:35:12.060 probably the best

00:35:12.700 you can get, but

00:35:13.500 I would take it

00:35:14.040 to another level.

00:35:15.260 I would tell

00:35:15.700 North Korea, you 0.99

00:35:16.500 know, we don't

00:35:17.780 think you should

00:35:18.340 build nukes and

00:35:19.200 aim them in our 0.59

00:35:20.220 direction, but we

00:35:22.620 can't make any

00:35:23.220 promises about

00:35:23.960 China.

00:35:25.440 If I were you

00:35:26.360 and I were that

00:35:26.960 close to China, you 0.97

00:35:28.660 might want to keep

00:35:29.220 those nukes, because

00:35:30.160 you're going to need

00:35:30.720 to aim them at

00:35:31.600 Beijing.

00:35:33.540 Because China is a 0.99

00:35:34.880 real threat to

00:35:35.620 North Korea, don't 1.00

00:35:36.840 you think?

00:35:37.900 Because China has 0.57

00:35:39.460 absorbed Hong Kong,

00:35:41.020 as was their

00:35:42.040 legal right, more

00:35:44.620 or less.

00:35:45.080 I mean, they may

00:35:45.760 have taken it too

00:35:46.360 far.

00:35:47.720 They probably will

00:35:49.200 absorb Taiwan within 1.00

00:35:51.380 the next 10 years,

00:35:52.520 just because it's

00:35:53.160 close and because

00:35:53.980 they can.

00:35:54.440 does North Korea

00:35:56.920 think that America

00:35:57.960 is a bigger risk

00:35:59.020 than North Korea

00:36:00.660 right on the border

00:36:01.400 of China?

00:36:02.600 I don't think so.

00:36:04.360 I think China is a 0.68

00:36:05.840 way bigger risk to

00:36:06.920 North Korea.

00:36:07.820 And the way China 0.99

00:36:08.700 would take over would 0.72

00:36:09.640 be, you know,

00:36:10.300 infiltrating and, you 1.00

00:36:11.680 know, buying and

00:36:12.440 bribing and, you

00:36:13.940 know, doing their

00:36:14.880 soft long-term

00:36:16.280 influence thing to

00:36:17.420 control North Korea.

00:36:19.320 There's no way that

00:36:21.400 Kim Jong-un should be

00:36:22.780 on their team.

00:36:24.500 He should be on

00:36:25.620 our team.

00:36:27.540 And then you're

00:36:28.440 fine.

00:36:29.820 Because people don't

00:36:31.160 nuke their own 0.56

00:36:31.860 team.

00:36:33.400 He should be on

00:36:34.580 our team against

00:36:36.600 China.

00:36:37.440 China is the threat 1.00

00:36:38.340 to the world. 0.56

00:36:39.300 It's got to be a

00:36:40.040 threat to North Korea.

00:36:41.460 Now, they can't

00:36:42.600 treat North Korea 0.79

00:36:43.380 like a threat.

00:36:44.060 They can't treat

00:36:44.840 China like a threat 1.00

00:36:45.640 because they're still

00:36:46.700 dealing with them.

00:36:47.360 But realistically,

00:36:49.740 from a long-term

00:36:50.840 military perspective,

00:36:53.500 North Korea and

00:36:54.540 China are the 1.00

00:36:55.720 problem with each

00:36:56.480 other.

00:36:56.800 We're not.

00:36:57.920 So I would make

00:36:58.740 that case.

00:36:59.300 I think Biden's

00:36:59.860 got that wrong.

00:37:01.280 All right.

00:37:01.480 So overall, if you

00:37:02.520 said Biden had a

00:37:04.860 very low bar for

00:37:06.000 expectations, I would

00:37:07.120 say he exceeded

00:37:07.820 it.

00:37:08.880 Is that fair?

00:37:10.100 The bar was so

00:37:11.100 low that he

00:37:12.540 exceeded it fairly

00:37:13.460 easily.

00:37:14.400 So I would give

00:37:15.080 him a good mark on

00:37:15.960 his performance.

00:37:16.680 It's performance.

00:37:18.480 He gets the

00:37:19.380 usual failing grade

00:37:20.500 on accuracy.

00:37:21.540 They all do.

00:37:22.660 He gets a bad

00:37:24.500 grade on handling

00:37:25.520 the border, bad

00:37:26.500 grade on handling

00:37:27.220 North Korea.

00:37:28.480 Didn't really

00:37:29.080 answer a lot of

00:37:29.780 questions.

00:37:30.980 But he didn't

00:37:32.080 need to accomplish

00:37:32.760 any of those

00:37:33.560 things I'm

00:37:34.100 criticizing.

00:37:35.300 So if you were

00:37:36.020 to make a list

00:37:36.600 of all the things

00:37:37.200 that don't matter,

00:37:38.920 he didn't do

00:37:39.480 them very well.

00:37:41.180 All right?

00:37:42.140 Being accurate,

00:37:43.140 it doesn't really

00:37:43.720 matter.

00:37:44.020 And he didn't

00:37:44.860 do it very

00:37:45.260 well.

00:37:46.220 But it doesn't

00:37:46.660 matter.

00:37:47.820 What did

00:37:48.260 matter?

00:37:48.960 That he didn't

00:37:50.440 decompose in

00:37:51.920 front of the

00:37:52.260 public.

00:37:52.780 What did

00:37:53.200 matter is that

00:37:54.400 he had details

00:37:55.300 on all of the

00:37:56.800 questions.

00:37:57.860 What did

00:37:58.520 matter is that

00:37:59.260 he spoke with

00:37:59.920 some authority,

00:38:00.880 active presidential.

00:38:02.280 I think he

00:38:02.860 pulled it off.

00:38:04.240 I think he

00:38:04.700 pulled it off.

00:38:07.280 All right,

00:38:07.820 but certainly

00:38:09.240 not giving him

00:38:09.880 a total pass.

00:38:10.560 Now,

00:38:11.300 interestingly,

00:38:12.300 two left-leaning

00:38:14.140 journalists did

00:38:15.820 not agree with

00:38:16.340 each other.

00:38:17.680 So when

00:38:18.260 Alcindor,

00:38:20.060 Yamiche,

00:38:20.840 Alcindor,

00:38:21.600 I think she's

00:38:22.080 NPR,

00:38:23.980 when she

00:38:25.280 asked a

00:38:25.660 question,

00:38:26.560 embedded in

00:38:27.060 the question

00:38:27.480 was the

00:38:27.900 assumption

00:38:28.300 that,

00:38:29.800 or maybe

00:38:30.880 accusation,

00:38:31.820 depending on

00:38:32.160 what you want

00:38:32.440 to call it,

00:38:33.320 that because

00:38:34.320 Biden was a

00:38:35.000 nice guy,

00:38:35.900 that that was

00:38:36.360 what caused,

00:38:37.420 and he was

00:38:38.220 talking nice

00:38:38.880 about immigration,

00:38:39.700 that that

00:38:40.720 caused more

00:38:41.440 immigration.

00:38:43.100 Whereas Rubin

00:38:44.300 tweeted,

00:38:45.020 Yamiche makes

00:38:45.740 the statement

00:38:46.180 unproven,

00:38:47.640 that his words

00:38:48.540 set off the

00:38:49.400 surge.

00:38:50.620 This is

00:38:51.080 factually wrong.

00:38:52.780 Now, Rubin,

00:38:53.480 of course,

00:38:54.080 is not like

00:38:55.320 other journalists.

00:38:57.080 She's a little

00:38:57.820 more of a

00:38:58.500 team player

00:38:59.040 than even

00:39:00.500 people who

00:39:01.000 are team

00:39:01.300 players.

00:39:02.740 But I

00:39:03.200 would say

00:39:03.840 that Biden

00:39:05.960 and his

00:39:07.000 media who

00:39:08.080 are trying to

00:39:08.600 say that the

00:39:09.160 surge is

00:39:09.680 not because

00:39:10.160 of Biden.

00:39:11.100 They did

00:39:11.480 a good

00:39:11.740 job.

00:39:13.000 Now,

00:39:13.640 here was

00:39:14.180 the argument

00:39:14.600 if you

00:39:14.940 haven't heard

00:39:15.300 it.

00:39:15.680 I think

00:39:15.960 you've

00:39:16.120 heard it.

00:39:16.800 That the

00:39:17.480 surge is

00:39:18.080 actually no

00:39:18.580 different than

00:39:19.120 prior years.

00:39:21.180 And that if

00:39:21.660 you add the

00:39:22.820 fact that

00:39:23.400 the coronavirus

00:39:24.900 caused what

00:39:26.600 would have

00:39:27.000 been a

00:39:27.320 surge to

00:39:28.220 not happen

00:39:28.800 last year,

00:39:29.940 that all

00:39:30.240 you're seeing

00:39:30.680 is this

00:39:31.140 year's normal

00:39:31.880 surge plus

00:39:33.300 a little

00:39:33.700 excess surge

00:39:35.180 because people

00:39:35.840 would have

00:39:36.260 come the year

00:39:36.760 before,

00:39:37.240 but they

00:39:37.480 couldn't.

00:39:38.160 So now

00:39:38.500 they're just

00:39:38.840 coming this

00:39:39.280 year.

00:39:39.760 So it's

00:39:40.160 just a

00:39:40.480 big year

00:39:40.860 for surges,

00:39:42.780 but not

00:39:43.640 because of

00:39:44.200 anything.

00:39:44.800 It just

00:39:45.160 would have

00:39:45.500 happened anyway

00:39:46.140 for economic

00:39:46.820 reasons and

00:39:47.760 seasonal reasons

00:39:49.200 and everything.

00:39:50.300 Now,

00:39:50.680 is that

00:39:51.060 true?

00:39:52.780 Is it

00:39:53.260 true?

00:39:54.740 Yeah,

00:39:55.040 I'm seeing in

00:39:55.540 the comments,

00:39:56.000 I see you

00:39:56.380 saying that it's

00:39:56.860 just not

00:39:57.240 true,

00:39:58.380 that the way

00:39:59.080 they're counting

00:39:59.620 it is wrong.

00:40:01.640 If you talk

00:40:02.260 to the migrants,

00:40:03.240 they'll tell you

00:40:04.000 they're coming

00:40:04.420 because of Biden.

00:40:05.280 the interviews

00:40:06.600 I've seen,

00:40:07.600 they say it

00:40:08.180 directly.

00:40:09.060 Would you

00:40:09.460 have come

00:40:09.940 if Trump

00:40:11.500 had still

00:40:11.960 been president?

00:40:13.020 Maybe not.

00:40:14.040 Did you

00:40:14.360 come because

00:40:15.000 Biden said

00:40:15.880 things would

00:40:17.180 be better?

00:40:18.140 Yes.

00:40:19.240 They say it

00:40:19.920 directly.

00:40:21.380 Now,

00:40:23.880 so I'm not

00:40:25.080 saying that

00:40:25.540 Biden is

00:40:26.220 accurate when

00:40:27.100 he defends

00:40:27.620 himself by

00:40:28.200 saying that

00:40:28.580 the surge

00:40:29.040 is no

00:40:29.860 worse,

00:40:30.220 and that

00:40:30.980 he also

00:40:31.300 says that

00:40:32.960 there were

00:40:33.380 facilities in

00:40:34.160 place to

00:40:34.580 handle the

00:40:35.100 surge,

00:40:35.700 that Trump

00:40:36.540 dismantled.

00:40:37.880 That's probably

00:40:38.460 a little bit

00:40:39.020 true.

00:40:40.420 So if you

00:40:40.920 were simply

00:40:41.340 to judge

00:40:43.800 whether Biden

00:40:44.540 defended his

00:40:45.760 practice as

00:40:46.540 well,

00:40:47.160 just rhetorically,

00:40:48.680 he actually

00:40:49.080 did.

00:40:49.920 With the

00:40:50.480 help of the

00:40:50.920 media,

00:40:52.760 and I'm

00:40:53.780 totally

00:40:54.100 surprised,

00:40:55.160 right?

00:40:55.800 I'm totally

00:40:56.340 surprised.

00:40:57.200 And I'm not

00:40:57.800 buying their

00:40:58.600 statistics.

00:40:59.120 I do

00:40:59.820 think it's

00:41:00.260 a real

00:41:00.560 surge that

00:41:01.720 really comes

00:41:02.460 because of

00:41:03.020 Biden.

00:41:03.960 Now,

00:41:04.180 that's a

00:41:04.440 belief,

00:41:05.520 but they

00:41:07.580 did a good

00:41:08.080 job,

00:41:08.660 a good job

00:41:09.980 of defending

00:41:10.640 their situation.

00:41:12.580 You don't

00:41:13.020 have to believe

00:41:13.620 they were

00:41:14.320 being honest,

00:41:15.500 but it was

00:41:16.100 a good

00:41:16.320 defense.

00:41:16.900 I was

00:41:17.100 surprised.

00:41:18.280 It was

00:41:18.700 better than

00:41:19.000 I thought

00:41:19.260 it would

00:41:19.400 be.

00:41:20.160 And even

00:41:20.600 Rubin and

00:41:21.320 Elcindor

00:41:21.960 are on

00:41:22.180 the different

00:41:23.260 sides about

00:41:23.940 whether there

00:41:24.760 was anything

00:41:25.200 to that.

00:41:26.460 All right.

00:41:28.320 There's a

00:41:28.920 weird thing

00:41:29.340 happening in

00:41:29.860 the world

00:41:30.240 with cotton.

00:41:32.400 You know,

00:41:32.980 I've told you

00:41:33.420 that one of

00:41:33.920 the things

00:41:34.180 about this

00:41:34.560 simulation is

00:41:35.520 that there's

00:41:35.880 some themes

00:41:36.600 that once you

00:41:37.500 see them,

00:41:38.020 they just keep

00:41:38.520 repeating,

00:41:39.600 and it could

00:41:40.460 be just a

00:41:40.960 coincidence,

00:41:41.560 probably is,

00:41:42.640 but it's

00:41:42.920 always interesting.

00:41:44.620 So cotton

00:41:45.420 is in the

00:41:46.100 news for all

00:41:47.460 different reasons.

00:41:48.420 So I guess

00:41:48.900 H&M and

00:41:50.020 Nike are

00:41:51.360 being boycotted

00:41:52.200 in China

00:41:52.800 because they've

00:41:54.380 made noise

00:41:55.040 opposing the

00:41:55.940 slave labor 0.98

00:41:56.700 that picks the

00:41:57.360 cotton that

00:41:58.380 goes into

00:41:58.800 the products.

00:42:01.040 So American

00:42:03.400 companies are

00:42:04.500 being boycotted,

00:42:05.500 are they both

00:42:05.980 American?

00:42:06.560 H&M?

00:42:07.220 I don't know,

00:42:08.040 are being

00:42:08.400 boycotted for

00:42:09.340 opposing slavery.

00:42:12.780 You know,

00:42:13.040 the Uyghurs,

00:42:13.780 forced labor

00:42:14.320 camps,

00:42:14.740 et cetera,

00:42:15.800 and China's

00:42:16.540 pushing back.

00:42:17.700 They're pro-slavery. 0.93

00:42:19.540 And so you've

00:42:21.380 got that

00:42:21.700 happening.

00:42:22.640 Then at the

00:42:23.080 same time,

00:42:23.780 you've got

00:42:24.120 Tom Cotton,

00:42:25.280 who's making

00:42:25.820 some news

00:42:26.520 I'll talk

00:42:27.140 about in a

00:42:27.560 moment.

00:42:28.340 And he also

00:42:28.800 talks about

00:42:29.400 China all the 0.99

00:42:30.020 time.

00:42:30.560 And then we're

00:42:30.900 also talking

00:42:31.420 about slavery

00:42:32.260 reparations.

00:42:33.620 That's in the

00:42:34.180 news a lot

00:42:35.500 lately, which

00:42:37.140 of course is

00:42:37.740 the legacy of

00:42:38.760 the cotton

00:42:39.700 plantations and

00:42:40.540 everything.

00:42:41.260 Why is it

00:42:41.840 that cotton 0.61

00:42:42.500 suddenly became

00:42:44.360 one of the

00:42:45.660 most common

00:42:46.220 words in the

00:42:46.920 news?

00:42:49.120 What's up

00:42:49.800 with that?

00:42:50.980 Speaking of

00:42:51.780 Tom Cotton,

00:42:53.860 I guess he's

00:42:55.200 introducing

00:42:55.640 legislation to

00:42:56.620 ban critical

00:42:58.160 race theory

00:42:58.900 training in

00:42:59.620 the U.S.

00:43:00.100 military.

00:43:01.960 Once again,

00:43:02.980 I say,

00:43:04.020 are there

00:43:04.780 other senators?

00:43:07.080 The only

00:43:07.740 senators you see

00:43:08.620 doing anything,

00:43:09.820 it's like Ted

00:43:10.620 Cruz,

00:43:11.920 Rand Paul,

00:43:13.980 Tom Cotton,

00:43:16.620 and we're

00:43:18.280 done here,

00:43:18.820 right?

00:43:19.820 Is it just the

00:43:20.600 same people doing

00:43:21.380 all the work?

00:43:22.140 I'm not sure

00:43:23.840 I would even

00:43:24.380 consider voting

00:43:26.700 or even

00:43:27.460 supporting,

00:43:28.040 let's say,

00:43:29.020 for a president

00:43:29.740 anybody who

00:43:30.680 isn't one of

00:43:31.220 these people.

00:43:33.260 Josh Hawley's

00:43:34.160 making some

00:43:35.280 noise, yeah,

00:43:36.200 Josh Hawley,

00:43:37.200 but it's just a

00:43:38.300 handful of

00:43:38.740 people.

00:43:39.160 They're doing

00:43:39.360 all the things

00:43:40.560 that matter,

00:43:41.140 it seems like,

00:43:42.040 and everybody

00:43:42.760 else is doing

00:43:43.520 what?

00:43:44.680 What the hell

00:43:45.320 are they doing?

00:43:46.700 What's Rubio

00:43:47.540 done?

00:43:47.920 I'm seeing

00:43:48.280 Rubio's name

00:43:48.940 there.

00:43:49.080 What's he

00:43:49.380 done lately?

00:43:51.040 I don't know.

00:43:52.140 But I

00:43:53.400 would say

00:43:53.860 at the

00:43:54.680 moment,

00:43:55.280 if you

00:43:55.640 were to

00:43:55.940 judge just

00:43:56.600 on who's

00:43:57.540 taking on

00:43:58.960 things and

00:43:59.520 who's introducing

00:44:00.240 legislation and

00:44:01.420 who's moving

00:44:01.940 the needle and

00:44:02.760 who has their

00:44:03.920 priorities right,

00:44:05.980 it's kind of

00:44:06.560 Tom Cotton's

00:44:07.300 looking pretty

00:44:07.760 good.

00:44:08.720 And he's also

00:44:09.360 not making

00:44:10.060 what I'd call

00:44:10.780 the Rand Paul

00:44:11.820 mistake.

00:44:13.600 The Rand Paul

00:44:14.660 mistake is that

00:44:15.360 he's dying on

00:44:16.040 the hill of

00:44:16.500 these face

00:44:17.220 masks.

00:44:17.680 And you

00:44:19.020 just can't

00:44:19.480 win that

00:44:19.920 fight.

00:44:20.940 I mean,

00:44:21.180 he can be

00:44:21.580 right.

00:44:22.460 I'm not

00:44:22.800 arguing he's

00:44:23.420 wrong.

00:44:24.180 I'm just

00:44:24.620 saying it's

00:44:25.320 the kind of

00:44:26.380 fight that's

00:44:26.940 really a bad

00:44:27.640 one if you

00:44:28.180 want to run

00:44:28.640 for president

00:44:29.220 later.

00:44:30.060 Because people

00:44:30.700 are going to

00:44:31.020 remember it,

00:44:31.800 they're going to

00:44:32.160 say you were

00:44:32.800 wrong, you're

00:44:33.660 anti-science,

00:44:34.540 or whatever.

00:44:35.280 But I don't

00:44:35.780 see Tom

00:44:36.300 Cotton even

00:44:36.800 making an

00:44:37.340 issue of it.

00:44:37.960 He's going

00:44:38.340 after, you

00:44:40.040 know, the

00:44:40.600 racism in this

00:44:41.700 country, good.

00:44:43.440 He's going

00:44:44.000 after China

00:44:44.660 really hard.

00:44:46.080 Good.

00:44:47.200 Good stuff.

00:44:49.380 All right.

00:44:53.780 There is, in

00:44:55.000 Oakland, they're

00:44:56.480 doing a program

00:44:57.240 where they're

00:44:57.640 going to give

00:44:58.020 $500 checks to

00:44:59.360 low-income

00:44:59.860 families.

00:45:01.100 So I guess

00:45:02.340 this is like a

00:45:03.080 UBI kind of

00:45:04.000 a thing.

00:45:04.420 I'm not sure

00:45:04.980 how long it's

00:45:06.700 going to go.

00:45:07.660 But there's a

00:45:08.520 restriction to

00:45:09.700 it.

00:45:10.280 So if you're

00:45:11.140 poor, if you're

00:45:12.660 low-income, and

00:45:13.480 in Oakland, you'll

00:45:14.120 get a $500

00:45:14.700 check, unless

00:45:15.740 you're white. 0.89

00:45:18.500 So you can't 0.69

00:45:19.240 get the check

00:45:19.720 if you're

00:45:20.040 white.

00:45:22.960 Other ethnic

00:45:23.800 groups, I

00:45:24.320 guess, are

00:45:24.860 okay, but

00:45:25.800 not if you're 0.92

00:45:26.360 white.

00:45:28.380 And so I'd

00:45:29.160 like to give

00:45:29.480 this financial

00:45:30.060 advice to

00:45:30.600 young people,

00:45:31.380 and I follow

00:45:32.060 my own

00:45:32.440 advice.

00:45:33.700 If you're

00:45:34.280 young, you

00:45:34.900 should definitely

00:45:35.340 hold Bitcoin.

00:45:37.440 Just, you

00:45:38.340 know, even if

00:45:38.860 Bitcoin goes

00:45:39.480 out of business,

00:45:40.540 it looks like it

00:45:41.540 could grow fast

00:45:42.400 in the future.

00:45:42.980 So when

00:45:44.280 you're

00:45:44.460 young, you

00:45:45.080 should get

00:45:45.400 things that

00:45:45.800 are a little

00:45:46.100 riskier, but

00:45:47.280 they could go

00:45:47.900 big, because

00:45:48.780 even if you

00:45:49.240 lose all your

00:45:49.680 money when

00:45:50.020 you're young,

00:45:50.500 you have plenty

00:45:51.340 of time to

00:45:51.780 make it up.

00:45:53.100 So if you're

00:45:53.700 young, you

00:45:54.020 should hold

00:45:54.380 Bitcoin, and

00:45:56.020 then secondly, you

00:45:56.840 should identify 0.96

00:45:57.480 as black.

00:45:58.940 And I'm only

00:45:59.700 saying to do

00:46:00.300 it for the

00:46:00.640 money, not for

00:46:01.460 any other

00:46:01.800 reason.

00:46:03.360 And I'm

00:46:03.780 going to

00:46:03.960 announce today

00:46:04.580 that going

00:46:05.600 forward, I do

00:46:06.380 identify as

00:46:07.020 black.

00:46:07.360 And I

00:46:08.700 had my DNA

00:46:10.360 analyzed by

00:46:12.340 23andMe, and

00:46:14.320 I do have

00:46:15.540 origins in

00:46:16.220 Africa.

00:46:17.600 Now, I

00:46:17.920 don't know how

00:46:18.400 much your

00:46:19.520 origins have to 1.00

00:46:20.260 be, but I

00:46:21.800 think you just

00:46:22.400 have to identify

00:46:23.100 that way.

00:46:23.800 Those are the

00:46:24.560 rules.

00:46:25.440 Now, I told

00:46:25.940 you that the

00:46:26.700 best way to

00:46:27.340 break a system

00:46:28.140 you don't like

00:46:28.920 is to embrace

00:46:29.640 it.

00:46:30.740 So I embrace

00:46:31.720 it.

00:46:32.420 I do believe

00:46:33.420 that people who

00:46:34.960 don't, let's 0.96

00:46:35.600 say, look

00:46:37.240 exactly black

00:46:38.320 can identify

00:46:39.860 as black.

00:46:41.140 Right?

00:46:41.600 Because there

00:46:42.080 are lots of

00:46:42.460 examples of

00:46:43.020 that.

00:46:43.460 There are

00:46:43.620 plenty of

00:46:43.960 people who, if

00:46:45.180 you looked at

00:46:45.860 them, you'd

00:46:46.140 say, I don't

00:46:46.840 know if they're

00:46:47.180 black.

00:46:48.160 You know, just 0.97

00:46:48.540 looking at

00:46:49.080 them, I can't

00:46:49.740 tell.

00:46:50.160 But if they

00:46:50.640 identify as

00:46:51.360 black, those 0.99

00:46:53.440 are the rules. 0.95

00:46:55.020 That you can

00:46:55.520 identify as

00:46:56.180 black, and 0.95

00:46:56.780 then you are. 0.99

00:46:57.680 So I'm going

00:46:58.320 to identify as

00:46:58.960 black.

00:46:59.360 I've got a

00:46:59.820 little bit of

00:47:00.440 African-American

00:47:01.100 in me, according

00:47:01.760 to 23andMe.

00:47:03.960 And I also

00:47:04.680 have a lived

00:47:05.300 experience, which

00:47:06.600 I think,

00:47:07.240 fits the

00:47:08.960 model.

00:47:10.460 Most of

00:47:11.040 you know the

00:47:11.520 story that when

00:47:12.140 I was working

00:47:12.700 for a big

00:47:13.440 bank early in

00:47:15.100 my career, my

00:47:15.900 boss called

00:47:16.480 me in the

00:47:16.860 office and

00:47:17.300 told me that

00:47:17.780 I couldn't

00:47:18.280 be promoted

00:47:18.800 because I'm

00:47:20.140 white and

00:47:21.060 male.

00:47:22.140 Now, when I

00:47:22.640 tell this story,

00:47:23.340 people say,

00:47:24.020 that didn't

00:47:25.260 happen.

00:47:26.860 Or they

00:47:27.600 say, I think

00:47:30.480 you're making

00:47:30.900 that up.

00:47:31.520 Or they

00:47:32.780 say, maybe

00:47:34.540 you thought

00:47:35.100 that's what

00:47:35.560 was happening,

00:47:36.380 but they

00:47:36.760 certainly

00:47:37.100 wouldn't say

00:47:37.680 it directly.

00:47:39.200 Let me

00:47:39.520 say this as

00:47:40.060 clearly as

00:47:40.520 possible.

00:47:42.020 My boss

00:47:42.880 said it

00:47:43.280 directly.

00:47:45.280 You can't

00:47:46.200 get promoted

00:47:46.760 here because 0.89

00:47:48.180 you're white 0.98

00:47:48.800 and you're

00:47:50.620 male.

00:47:51.480 Directly.

00:47:52.420 So I

00:47:52.980 quit.

00:47:53.800 Of course.

00:47:55.000 What would

00:47:55.700 you do if

00:47:56.400 your company

00:47:57.360 tells you you

00:47:57.960 can't be

00:47:58.380 promoted because

00:47:59.180 of your

00:47:59.500 gender and

00:48:00.140 your race?

00:48:00.620 You quit.

00:48:01.960 So when

00:48:03.140 that happened,

00:48:04.500 I, of

00:48:05.380 course, had

00:48:05.740 plenty of

00:48:06.140 other opportunities

00:48:06.860 to go to.

00:48:07.580 Things worked

00:48:08.020 out for me.

00:48:09.280 But I

00:48:10.880 did feel for

00:48:11.780 a moment

00:48:12.300 what it

00:48:13.660 would be

00:48:13.920 like to

00:48:15.460 have racial

00:48:16.100 discrimination

00:48:16.860 determine your

00:48:18.000 career options

00:48:19.300 because it

00:48:19.900 literally happened.

00:48:21.340 So I left

00:48:22.000 the bank and

00:48:22.860 I took a job

00:48:23.740 at the local

00:48:24.980 phone company,

00:48:25.680 the Pacific

00:48:26.320 Bell at the

00:48:26.900 time.

00:48:27.420 And I got

00:48:28.120 on the

00:48:28.560 management

00:48:30.980 track.

00:48:32.080 So they

00:48:32.300 had an

00:48:32.520 actual

00:48:32.780 program that

00:48:34.040 if you were

00:48:34.380 identified as

00:48:35.180 somebody who

00:48:35.620 might be able

00:48:36.140 to rise to

00:48:36.700 the ranks,

00:48:37.700 they would put

00:48:38.100 you on the

00:48:38.400 program so

00:48:39.020 that you would

00:48:39.380 get extra

00:48:39.980 mentoring and

00:48:40.640 stuff and

00:48:41.080 people would

00:48:41.420 know who

00:48:41.680 you are.

00:48:42.800 And so I

00:48:43.200 got on the

00:48:43.540 program and

00:48:44.600 it looked like

00:48:45.080 I was going

00:48:45.520 places.

00:48:46.480 Finally.

00:48:47.660 Finally, I

00:48:48.300 could rise based

00:48:49.840 on my skill

00:48:50.660 and not the

00:48:51.960 color of my

00:48:52.580 skin.

00:48:53.920 But one

00:48:54.800 day my

00:48:55.360 boss called

00:48:56.860 me into his

00:48:57.420 office.

00:48:58.560 And again,

00:48:59.480 I'm not

00:49:00.140 making this

00:49:00.700 up.

00:49:01.640 There's no

00:49:02.280 hyperbole

00:49:02.800 here.

00:49:04.080 Told me

00:49:04.560 directly in

00:49:06.300 clean, direct

00:49:07.600 language.

00:49:08.880 I'm afraid we've

00:49:09.720 been told we

00:49:10.440 can't promote

00:49:11.340 white males

00:49:13.860 because we

00:49:16.480 don't have

00:49:16.780 enough diversity

00:49:18.480 in senior

00:49:18.940 management and

00:49:19.980 we'll never get

00:49:20.620 it if we just

00:49:21.240 keep promoting

00:49:21.840 white males.

00:49:22.900 And I said,

00:49:23.700 well, how long

00:49:24.320 is this going

00:49:24.800 to last?

00:49:25.220 And my

00:49:27.160 boss, to

00:49:27.740 his credit,

00:49:28.740 said, I

00:49:29.120 don't know.

00:49:30.300 I don't

00:49:30.620 know.

00:49:31.020 I mean, it's

00:49:31.360 not going to

00:49:31.680 go away soon.

00:49:33.340 I don't

00:49:33.640 know if it

00:49:33.940 ever went

00:49:34.300 away.

00:49:36.540 So two

00:49:37.580 major careers

00:49:38.520 I lost

00:49:40.240 because of

00:49:43.440 my race

00:49:44.000 and my

00:49:45.220 gender.

00:49:46.720 Now, again,

00:49:48.240 before you

00:49:48.900 bring out

00:49:49.300 your tiny

00:49:49.780 violins, 0.99

00:49:50.920 white man

00:49:52.920 complaining who

00:49:54.240 went on to

00:49:54.720 get rich

00:49:55.080 easily because 0.94

00:49:56.000 he's a white

00:49:56.780 man in

00:49:57.160 America,

00:49:57.680 tiny little

00:50:00.040 violin, I

00:50:01.240 hear you.

00:50:02.160 I hear you.

00:50:03.620 I'm not saying

00:50:04.280 that I didn't

00:50:04.720 have options.

00:50:06.160 Things worked

00:50:06.680 out pretty well

00:50:07.220 for me.

00:50:07.720 I'm not even

00:50:08.260 saying that

00:50:08.920 companies should

00:50:10.420 not work hard

00:50:13.600 for affirmative

00:50:14.140 action.

00:50:14.660 I think they

00:50:15.060 should.

00:50:16.160 And I just

00:50:16.880 happened to be

00:50:17.320 in the wrong

00:50:17.700 place at the

00:50:18.380 wrong time.

00:50:19.660 But I had

00:50:20.980 options.

00:50:22.340 So, again,

00:50:22.940 I'm not

00:50:23.300 complaining in

00:50:24.320 the sense

00:50:24.740 that, you

00:50:25.600 know, oh,

00:50:26.020 my life is

00:50:26.620 over.

00:50:27.060 I don't work

00:50:27.940 that way.

00:50:28.440 I just go

00:50:29.120 where I have

00:50:29.600 opportunity and

00:50:31.380 leave where I

00:50:32.520 don't.

00:50:33.280 I think

00:50:33.760 everybody should

00:50:34.260 do that.

00:50:35.440 And so,

00:50:37.820 I know people

00:50:38.900 think that I'm

00:50:40.080 joking about

00:50:40.740 this or that I

00:50:41.500 say it for a

00:50:42.100 fact or I

00:50:43.240 say it just

00:50:43.660 for persuasion.

00:50:44.920 But when I

00:50:45.900 say I know

00:50:47.960 what it feels

00:50:48.520 like to lose

00:50:50.860 a job because

00:50:53.000 of your race

00:50:54.040 or your

00:50:55.300 gender, I

00:50:56.320 literally know

00:50:57.180 what that

00:50:57.540 feels like.

00:50:59.040 Twice.

00:51:00.600 And these are

00:51:01.040 major careers.

00:51:02.060 This wasn't I

00:51:03.520 took a job,

00:51:04.340 you know, as a

00:51:04.940 bagger at the

00:51:05.560 grocery store for

00:51:06.380 a year and it

00:51:07.040 didn't work out.

00:51:08.260 Both of these

00:51:09.040 were supposed to

00:51:09.760 be my career.

00:51:12.420 And I was

00:51:13.460 bumped out.

00:51:14.160 So, that's

00:51:19.480 it.

00:51:19.680 So, I

00:51:19.900 identify as

00:51:20.500 black going 1.00

00:51:21.220 forward.

00:51:21.740 I would

00:51:22.040 encourage all

00:51:23.200 of you to do

00:51:23.660 the same.

00:51:25.640 I'm not

00:51:26.220 kidding, by

00:51:26.640 the way.

00:51:27.940 I'm not

00:51:28.540 kidding.

00:51:30.760 Just in case

00:51:31.460 you thought I

00:51:31.920 was, I'm

00:51:33.120 not.

00:51:35.140 Pelosi was

00:51:36.040 making some

00:51:36.720 news today,

00:51:38.180 you know, I

00:51:38.780 guess the last

00:51:39.340 few days, and

00:51:39.980 she says, is

00:51:40.820 it right as a

00:51:41.660 speaker, she 0.99

00:51:42.160 says, to

00:51:43.120 seat or

00:51:43.660 unseat any

00:51:44.340 member of

00:51:44.820 Congress she

00:51:45.380 wants, even

00:51:47.280 if the

00:51:47.620 election is

00:51:48.120 certified.

00:51:49.700 Now, a lot

00:51:50.160 of people are

00:51:50.600 saying, doesn't

00:51:52.040 that make you

00:51:52.740 sort of the

00:51:53.660 empress of the

00:51:54.800 country?

00:51:55.480 But I guess

00:51:56.060 she is.

00:51:56.900 But the

00:51:57.220 interesting part

00:51:57.820 is you have

00:51:58.200 to see her

00:51:58.600 video talking

00:51:59.280 about that.

00:52:00.420 Because I

00:52:01.720 don't know what

00:52:02.280 she's done

00:52:02.740 recently,

00:52:04.180 cosmetically,

00:52:06.020 but her

00:52:06.820 eyebrows are

00:52:07.780 trying to

00:52:08.260 escape her

00:52:08.960 mouth area,

00:52:10.220 and they just

00:52:11.060 keep getting

00:52:11.480 higher on her

00:52:12.140 head until I

00:52:13.460 think the

00:52:13.820 eyebrows and

00:52:14.540 the hairline

00:52:15.140 have just

00:52:15.500 become one.

00:52:17.380 And I

00:52:18.360 think we

00:52:19.120 may see

00:52:19.620 other portions

00:52:21.780 of her

00:52:22.220 face, likewise

00:52:23.960 trying to

00:52:24.560 escape the

00:52:25.440 mouth area,

00:52:26.460 because the

00:52:27.080 things that

00:52:27.440 come out of

00:52:27.820 her mouth are

00:52:28.340 pretty scary.

00:52:29.680 And if I

00:52:30.140 were her

00:52:30.480 eyebrows, I

00:52:31.140 would make

00:52:31.860 a run.

00:52:32.460 I'd make a

00:52:33.000 run for it.

00:52:33.960 If I were

00:52:34.360 the ears, I'd

00:52:35.260 try to get

00:52:35.700 around to the

00:52:36.680 back a little

00:52:37.240 bit.

00:52:37.960 If I were

00:52:38.120 the nose, I

00:52:38.820 don't know.

00:52:39.900 The nose is

00:52:40.440 going to be

00:52:40.660 hard.

00:52:40.940 If I'm the

00:52:41.260 eyes, I might

00:52:41.820 want to try to

00:52:42.560 keep them

00:52:42.860 closed.

00:52:43.980 But you

00:52:44.440 want to get

00:52:44.740 as far away

00:52:45.500 as you can

00:52:45.940 from this

00:52:46.280 mouthful area.

00:52:49.020 And the

00:52:49.420 eyebrows are

00:52:50.100 leading the

00:52:50.600 pack.

00:52:51.220 All right.

00:52:52.160 So,

00:52:53.440 that is my

00:53:00.240 show for the

00:53:00.800 day, unless I

00:53:01.780 can think of

00:53:02.280 something right

00:53:02.900 now.

00:53:03.260 wait, Princeton

00:53:08.540 are you

00:53:09.200 kidding me?

00:53:10.140 Princeton

00:53:10.540 University

00:53:11.140 President

00:53:12.400 Christopher

00:53:13.300 Eisgruber,

00:53:14.340 somebody in

00:53:14.740 the comments

00:53:15.160 is saying,

00:53:15.920 is promoting

00:53:16.520 the fine

00:53:16.920 people hoax.

00:53:18.820 Princeton?

00:53:20.920 I have a

00:53:21.840 friend from

00:53:22.260 Princeton who

00:53:22.860 believes all

00:53:23.400 the hoaxes.

00:53:24.820 He graduated

00:53:25.520 from Princeton,

00:53:27.140 believes every

00:53:28.020 hoax.

00:53:28.980 There is not a

00:53:29.720 hoax he doesn't

00:53:30.440 believe.

00:53:30.960 And believe me,

00:53:31.580 you can't talk

00:53:32.200 him out of it.

00:53:33.260 So,

00:53:34.120 Princeton's got a

00:53:34.820 problem.

00:53:36.560 Princeton's got a

00:53:37.380 problem.

00:53:44.400 What's happening

00:53:45.240 this weekend?

00:53:46.960 Somebody asked.

00:53:49.180 All right.

00:53:49.720 I'm going to

00:53:50.140 turn off

00:53:50.680 Periscope,

00:53:53.000 and I will

00:53:54.580 talk to you

00:53:55.320 later.

00:53:58.540 All right,

00:53:59.320 YouTubers,

00:53:59.880 because you're

00:54:00.420 special at the

00:54:01.400 moment.

00:54:03.260 you're asking

00:54:06.700 what,

00:54:07.000 somebody asked

00:54:07.540 what years

00:54:08.120 my career

00:54:09.200 was scuttled.

00:54:09.880 Yeah,

00:54:10.020 that was

00:54:10.340 80s.

00:54:12.480 Correct.

00:54:13.300 80s and

00:54:13.820 early 90s.

00:54:16.080 Late 80s,

00:54:16.940 early 90s,

00:54:17.540 actually.

00:54:22.560 Big

00:54:22.920 foots are

00:54:24.000 real,

00:54:25.500 somebody says. 0.98

00:54:27.860 Start hanging

00:54:28.600 out with Bill

00:54:29.160 Maher.

00:54:29.500 I don't think

00:54:30.880 Bill Maher

00:54:31.300 wants to

00:54:31.680 hang out

00:54:31.980 with me.

00:54:32.740 You know,

00:54:33.020 I was on

00:54:33.640 his show,

00:54:35.040 and let's

00:54:37.320 just say

00:54:37.800 we didn't

00:54:41.620 have chemistry.

00:54:42.240 I'll just

00:54:43.920 say that.

00:54:47.700 But he was

00:54:48.360 in a hurry.

00:54:48.920 He had to

00:54:49.180 get somewhere

00:54:49.600 after the

00:54:50.020 show.

00:54:50.460 So he

00:54:50.860 just came

00:54:51.640 in,

00:54:51.840 did the

00:54:52.040 show,

00:54:52.260 and ran.

00:54:53.020 We didn't

00:54:53.540 really chat.

00:54:57.520 Oh,

00:54:57.940 yeah.

00:54:58.760 You know,

00:54:59.380 I somewhat

00:55:00.340 missed the

00:55:01.700 details.

00:55:02.600 There's some

00:55:03.020 kind of story

00:55:03.640 about Hunter

00:55:04.960 Biden,

00:55:06.740 what was it,

00:55:07.380 his girlfriend

00:55:07.960 threw away

00:55:08.740 his handgun 0.71

00:55:09.540 in a trash

00:55:10.420 can by a

00:55:11.140 school.

00:55:12.240 And then

00:55:12.860 there was

00:55:13.240 maybe a

00:55:13.740 form that

00:55:14.200 he filled

00:55:14.500 out when

00:55:14.860 he got

00:55:15.180 it that

00:55:15.520 he lied

00:55:16.000 on,

00:55:17.820 and maybe

00:55:18.240 he should

00:55:18.500 go to

00:55:18.760 jail.

00:55:20.920 I don't

00:55:24.960 know what

00:55:25.240 to say

00:55:25.560 about that

00:55:25.980 story.

00:55:26.460 It isn't

00:55:26.860 big enough

00:55:27.480 to matter.

00:55:28.960 It's just

00:55:29.420 one guy

00:55:30.220 with a

00:55:30.520 problem.

00:55:33.120 Would

00:55:33.560 like to

00:55:33.880 see another

00:55:34.180 conversation

00:55:34.780 with you

00:55:35.300 and Sam

00:55:35.860 Harris.

00:55:36.320 Wouldn't

00:55:36.480 that be

00:55:36.780 interesting?

00:55:37.660 Wouldn't

00:55:37.840 that be

00:55:38.120 interesting?

00:55:38.960 Yeah.

00:55:40.220 I'm not

00:55:40.840 doing any

00:55:41.280 media right

00:55:41.780 now,

00:55:42.020 so I

00:55:42.380 wouldn't

00:55:42.520 do it

00:55:42.740 right away.

00:55:43.860 But at

00:55:44.980 some point

00:55:45.380 when I

00:55:45.660 start doing

00:55:46.060 media again,

00:55:48.100 that would

00:55:48.620 be an

00:55:48.860 interesting

00:55:49.180 conversation.

00:55:49.960 I'd love

00:55:50.220 to catch

00:55:50.780 up with

00:55:51.120 him.

00:55:51.640 Because the

00:55:52.300 fun thing

00:55:52.740 about Sam

00:55:54.200 Harris is

00:55:55.880 that he's

00:55:56.500 super smart

00:55:57.180 and well

00:55:57.640 informed.

00:55:59.080 So if you

00:55:59.860 disagree with

00:56:00.560 somebody who's

00:56:01.140 super smart

00:56:01.800 and well

00:56:02.220 informed,

00:56:03.340 that's just

00:56:03.860 always fun.

00:56:05.700 Maybe you'll

00:56:06.360 learn something

00:56:06.800 watching that.

00:56:07.340 All right.

00:56:11.900 Oh, there's

00:56:12.620 a bigger

00:56:12.940 story about

00:56:13.400 the Secret

00:56:13.780 Service,

00:56:14.600 et cetera,

00:56:15.020 with the

00:56:15.240 Hunter story.

00:56:15.920 Okay.

00:56:17.600 Got it.

00:56:21.360 And yes,

00:56:22.100 as people

00:56:22.540 said, if

00:56:23.240 that had

00:56:23.640 been Don

00:56:24.120 Jr.

00:56:24.560 instead of

00:56:24.980 Hunter, it

00:56:25.440 would be a

00:56:25.720 whole different

00:56:26.100 story.

00:56:26.620 Yeah, we

00:56:26.900 all agree

00:56:27.300 with that.

00:56:28.320 But there's

00:56:28.900 also, you

00:56:29.660 know, the

00:56:29.860 differences if

00:56:31.480 you're pro-gun

00:56:32.100 or not.

00:56:32.500 So it

00:56:32.700 wouldn't be

00:56:32.960 exactly a

00:56:33.600 good analogy.

00:56:40.420 Yeah, lying

00:56:41.260 on a gun

00:56:41.740 purchase is a

00:56:42.480 felony.

00:56:43.320 It probably

00:56:44.380 should be a

00:56:44.880 pretty big

00:56:45.280 one, don't

00:56:45.700 you think,

00:56:46.480 as felonies

00:56:47.220 go?

00:56:48.200 But wouldn't

00:56:49.040 it be

00:56:49.280 interesting if

00:56:50.020 his defense

00:56:50.780 was that the

00:56:52.180 Constitution

00:56:52.780 allows him to

00:56:53.440 own a gun?

00:56:55.940 Imagine if he

00:56:56.680 said, yes, I

00:56:57.760 admit I did

00:56:58.380 lie on this

00:56:59.020 forum, because

00:56:59.700 that's probably

00:57:00.280 going to be

00:57:00.560 easy to prove,

00:57:01.820 but I lied

00:57:02.520 on this forum

00:57:03.080 because I

00:57:03.720 have a

00:57:03.940 Second Amendment

00:57:04.440 right to

00:57:05.080 own a gun

00:57:05.540 and your

00:57:05.960 forum can't

00:57:06.560 stop me from

00:57:07.120 my Second

00:57:07.740 Amendment

00:57:08.040 right.

00:57:09.340 Would that

00:57:09.920 work?

00:57:11.180 That would

00:57:11.500 be interesting.

00:57:15.380 Somebody says

00:57:16.140 it's automatic

00:57:16.840 jail.

00:57:18.040 I don't know.

00:57:19.380 I'd like to

00:57:20.100 know how

00:57:21.000 they go.

00:57:21.340 Oh, I

00:57:21.540 didn't do

00:57:21.880 the Clubhouse

00:57:22.780 event.

00:57:23.720 I postponed

00:57:25.120 that again.

00:57:26.340 I'm just

00:57:26.700 having a

00:57:27.120 little bit

00:57:27.600 of a

00:57:27.880 scheduling

00:57:28.320 problem with

00:57:30.120 me and my

00:57:31.160 guests being

00:57:31.740 available to

00:57:32.500 the same

00:57:32.760 time.

00:57:34.900 The one

00:57:35.400 thing I

00:57:35.680 like about

00:57:36.060 Clubhouse is

00:57:36.700 you just

00:57:37.000 jump on and

00:57:37.600 do it.

00:57:38.380 You don't

00:57:38.700 have to

00:57:39.000 schedule.

00:57:41.880 So here's

00:57:42.640 a little

00:57:43.040 thing that

00:57:43.420 just happened

00:57:43.920 in my

00:57:44.300 neighborhood.

00:57:46.100 And this

00:57:48.580 tells you how

00:57:49.380 weird the

00:57:50.040 world is right

00:57:50.640 now, because

00:57:51.340 there's a bunch

00:57:51.780 of people who

00:57:52.180 got rich during

00:57:53.560 the pandemic.

00:57:54.620 At the same

00:57:55.080 time, a whole

00:57:55.520 bunch of

00:57:55.840 people lost

00:57:56.400 everything.

00:57:57.620 So it was

00:57:58.740 this weird

00:57:59.220 situation where

00:58:00.140 some people were

00:58:00.760 doing great,

00:58:01.440 while other

00:58:01.740 people were

00:58:02.220 just getting

00:58:03.420 hit hard.

00:58:05.300 But one of

00:58:05.740 the things that

00:58:06.080 happened is

00:58:06.480 where I live,

00:58:07.400 I'm outside of

00:58:08.280 San Francisco.

00:58:09.560 And I'm

00:58:10.160 outside of all

00:58:10.860 the bad parts

00:58:11.600 of San

00:58:11.980 Francisco.

00:58:12.760 Like everything

00:58:13.240 that's bad

00:58:13.840 about San

00:58:14.480 Francisco, the

00:58:15.180 city, I'm

00:58:16.600 just outside

00:58:17.540 that, because

00:58:18.120 I'm in the

00:58:18.520 suburbs outside.

00:58:20.020 And so as

00:58:20.760 people left

00:58:21.380 the city, they

00:58:23.060 came here.

00:58:24.660 There's a

00:58:25.220 2,300-square-foot

00:58:27.120 home around

00:58:28.260 the corner

00:58:28.760 that just

00:58:30.900 sold for

00:58:33.200 half a

00:58:33.780 million dollars

00:58:34.360 over the

00:58:34.840 asking price.

00:58:38.500 What?

00:58:40.060 One before

00:58:40.920 that just

00:58:41.360 sold for

00:58:41.760 $400,000

00:58:42.980 over the

00:58:45.040 asking price.

00:58:47.040 And there

00:58:47.720 are almost

00:58:48.400 no homes

00:58:48.960 that are

00:58:49.140 even available

00:58:49.780 to buy

00:58:50.240 here.

00:58:50.680 And the

00:58:50.900 reason is

00:58:51.340 that all

00:58:51.600 the city

00:58:53.060 and the

00:58:54.420 valley people,

00:58:55.740 once they

00:58:56.820 could work

00:58:57.360 remotely, as

00:58:59.360 soon as you

00:58:59.900 could work

00:59:00.620 remotely, they

00:59:02.140 came to my

00:59:02.720 town, because

00:59:03.160 this is the

00:59:03.680 perfect place

00:59:04.300 to work

00:59:04.680 remotely.

00:59:05.820 And there

00:59:06.340 are people

00:59:06.660 who sold

00:59:07.180 homes that

00:59:07.700 were worth

00:59:08.140 whatever

00:59:08.780 millions in

00:59:09.780 the city

00:59:10.540 or in the

00:59:11.060 valley.

00:59:11.960 And they

00:59:12.640 had tons

00:59:13.140 of money

00:59:13.460 because they

00:59:13.840 sold their

00:59:14.240 homes.

00:59:15.760 And then

00:59:16.280 they came

00:59:16.680 here and

00:59:17.820 raised all

00:59:18.560 of our

00:59:18.820 prices.

00:59:19.640 But have

00:59:20.000 you ever

00:59:20.320 heard of

00:59:20.640 that?

00:59:21.600 Have you

00:59:21.940 heard of

00:59:22.300 multiple

00:59:22.760 homes selling

00:59:24.180 for half

00:59:24.820 a million

00:59:25.200 dollars over

00:59:25.940 the asking

00:59:26.580 price?

00:59:27.460 Now, we're

00:59:27.760 only talking

00:59:28.220 about a

00:59:28.460 home that

00:59:28.760 was selling,

00:59:29.380 I think it

00:59:29.820 was listed

00:59:30.260 for 2.2

00:59:32.820 million.

00:59:34.340 We're not

00:59:35.020 talking about

00:59:35.600 like a

00:59:36.380 $50 million

00:59:37.040 home that

00:59:37.680 sold for

00:59:38.040 half a

00:59:38.400 million over

00:59:38.780 the asking

00:59:39.120 price.

00:59:39.820 It was

00:59:40.220 listed for

00:59:40.740 2.2

00:59:41.540 and sold

00:59:42.580 for 2.7.

00:59:45.860 And 2.2

00:59:47.060 was a market

00:59:48.420 comp.

00:59:49.560 It sold for

00:59:50.260 half a million

00:59:51.000 dollars over

00:59:51.740 the comps

00:59:52.660 for the

00:59:53.520 neighborhood.

00:59:54.220 I mean,

00:59:54.660 that's just

00:59:55.080 crazy.

00:59:56.280 All right,

00:59:56.540 so that's

00:59:56.820 what's going

00:59:57.140 on in my

00:59:57.520 neighborhood.

00:59:59.420 Unfortunately,

00:59:59.880 I'm not

01:00:00.100 selling my

01:00:00.500 house.

01:00:00.820 It would

01:00:00.980 have been a

01:00:01.240 good time

01:00:01.540 to do it.

01:00:02.220 I will

01:00:02.520 talk to

01:00:02.840 you later.

01:00:03.760 more.

01:00:12.820 тебе

01:00:13.780 have been a

01:00:14.760 good time

01:00:15.000 of

01:00:15.440 day.
